Governor proposes tax hikes

Oh, by the way Methusala, anybody who makes more than 30K a year, makes more than $86 a day.

Oh and by the way that's only $28 more than minimum wage makes per day, on a seven day per week scale, if you expand the minimum wagers to seven days, you actually get less.

Governor proposes tax hikes

The members of the Kansas legislature do already make less than most of the hard working people. Cutting their salaries by that number would only save the state about 78.5 million, no where near what is needed to supplement the short fall, most of them already make less than a liveable wage and have jobs at home to supplement their income. Sorry Alsrac that plan just isn't feesible, still waiting for the better plan.

Governor proposes tax hikes

So I propose the following question to all those who call this plan a sham and mockery. We've already cut the arms off of education both primary and higher. Those arms are now bleeding and more will have to be cut off if nothing is done. So I propose to you, if you disagree with Gov. Parkinson's plan, present something better, that will still allow us to educate our kids at the level we are now, however miligned it may be. Their's one thing I learned as a State Champion debater in high school, if you're going to attack the opponents plan, you dang sure better well have a better one. (Granted kids now won't get to learn that lesson because the money bled from our schools will force the cutting of programs like debate; Regan most republicans hero was a debater in high school; and our kids will never learn that.) So go ahead, complain about this plan, and how you don't think it will work, but be prepared to offer us a better plan that will work instead of spending the next four months whining about how bad this one is.

Friday Thoughts

deluvy, first of all congrats on raising your kids the right way, that's exactly how my parents raised me (and I'm in this generation) and I turned out pretty good I think. I think however that teachers have become jaded because their aren't many kids out their like your, who are learning life along with their school work. To many kids just get to learn from their schoolwork and not their parents, so good job parents who teach their kids to balance both.

On a humerous side note I once had a roomate who didn't realize when you became an adult you had to work all day long, then come home and do the chores, then take care of the bills and only then could you enjoy the rest of your day. He also didn't realize businesses don't just close for the summer when students are out of school.
