This is bullshit. We are willing to pay for it..We just don’t want the funds to go to fvcking bullshit expenses, waste, pensions, retirment benefits, pork,etc…anything BUT education. Or we don’t want a bullshit governor to redirect funds to make up shortfalls to retirement benefits at the expense of our kids and then make up the shortfall to our kids by passing more taxes without addressing the budget problem to begin with..Because it’s obviously most amerikans spend above their means, including our government.
For that matter I am really really disappointed that Prop CC for Del Mar did not pass, but prop 30 did. Because Prop CC probably would have helped he local schools, while prop 30 isn’t going to do shit except give the CA government a bigger credit to spend more money they don’t have on anything but education. Honestly, it doesn’t matter. Because the same amount of money that was going to go to Prop CC I’m going to donate directly to the school of my kid anyway and write it off anyway. Better to my kid’s direct school than some bullshit politician or bullshit pork in Sacramento.
And that’s ok. Because I don’t care. And while I use to believe there was such a thing as the “greater good”, clearly no one else cares.. I use to care about buying american too. You know what. I don’t give a hoot about that too anymore..Because the same whiners that complain about outsourcing are the same whiners that want to tax the fvck out of people who try and get off security cushion at the expense of everyone else…and the same people that will try to reduce their own tax bills however they can…..
I’m adopting the new amerikan mantra… It’s not my problem, so I don’t give a shit. Once the unions and pension holders and every other other special interest groups start giving a shit about controlling spending rather than pointing fingers on who should be taxed more or who shouldn’t, maybe I’ll start caring about the greater good.[/quote]
Calm down flu. I am not saying Prop 30 is good, and you propably pay much higher tax then me. I am just tired of those people who act like they were shot the instant they hear the word “tax”.[/quote]
I don’t mind “tax”… I care about “spending”.
We wouldn’t need as much for the former if we took care of the latter….
What I really don’t get is up to now I’ve been a proponent of “hey, don’t do that government, our kids are gonna get screwed with the piles of piles of debt/deficit we are incurring….” But then the most ridiculous thing happened. Our younger generation that voted decides to support the very direction we’re heading…off a fiscal cliff and beyond… It amazes me…
I mean, if this isn’t proof that your younger generation is financially illiterate, I don’t know what is…And so, I’m thinking. If they don’t care about their future, then really it’s not my problem anymore. Because I’m not gonna be here when things get really bad anyway in 50-60 years.
All this thing about, bring jobs back to america. About trying to buy american, about trying to be fiscally responsible and prudent…it all just takes a backseat to polarized “ideology”…
My take on it… Amerikans really don’t care what happens 10-20years down the road. As long as the ATM keeps rolling in present day, that’s ok…
