yeah who needs taxes? Taxes are for idiots. I mean when politicians are payed by lobbyists anyway and teachers... well schools will get privatized, that's why we have Betsy and who really needs school? Bible is enough, you have answers to everything there. Especially since schools teach such rubbish there like biological evolution, but until then:
Quote:USA Today: Teachers are striking all over.
Teachers across the country are striking and protesting en masse, shutting down school systems and putting the pressure on state lawmakers to meet their demands.
At least four states this year have mobilized, often with similar gripes. Educators in West Virginia and Oklahoma are lobbying for more pay while Kentucky's teachers are fighting proposed changes to their pensions plans. West Virginia teachers forced lawmakers to give them 5% raises.
But Oklahoma found a solution:
Quote:Oklahoma's teachers plan to stage a walkout Monday, CNN reports, just days after Gov. Mary Fallin approved a $6,100 average pay raise.https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nati...472742002/
The raise, Time reports, amounts to a 16% bump and was paid for by raising taxes on cigarettes, fuel and lodging. Fallin called it "the largest teacher pay raise in the history of the state."
Ah, who buys fuel, just don't touch Tim Cook's or Jeff Bezos' money.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
