then he still would have lostyeah what assholes, making sure that children have health insurance while still cutting taxes for the middle class more than mccain's plan would how irresponsible doodthing;


why the hell do kids need health insurance

to cover the cost of their boo boos?  doodthing;

if they're going to fund more programs according to their website and give back all these credits to small businesses and shit, and with the huge deficit we have, how does cutting taxes solve anything

what i mean is, why can't families be expected to do the right thing with their money than have some third party control it

politicians use a similar argument when talking in favor of public education

"don't you want your children to have a proper education?"

I think i'll hold on to my own money and hire the people I can trust to teach my children when the time comes, not have them march in hordes to sit in front of people that can't give a shit to if the kids understand what they're teaching them

it's just another form of control and indoctrination

Fun fact: A whole lot of people can't afford private education. I know it must be a shock, but not everyone is as privileged as you are.

Fun fact: They can't afford private education because they're too busy paying for 'public' schooling through inflated state taxes. I also find that it is unfair for people who don't have kids who go to school to also have to pay for the public education system. The current system we have is horribly flawed and corrupt, and should be destroyed.

I've been in the public education system since the first grade. The first private school I'll be going to is college.  caterpie;

Not really. She's more or less the Bush to McCain's Cheney.
