There are now just 25 days until school doors could close across the state. The decision hinges on if the legislature will meet the court mandate handed down by the Kansas Supreme Court to properly fund schools.

They can't fund them because the set the tax rate at 0% and wonder why the state doesn't have any revenue. You can't have a fee and penalty driven governmental budget like they seem to think.

Listen you liberal fuck, why should I jave to pay taxes. Its a free country, which means my money should be free. Some people would say paying a tax is like paying rent, a fee that you pay to live in that space and get any of the accomodations that come along with it. Well I think that taxes is just the government comin into my home, Reaching deep into my pockets then fucking me in the ass. Thats alls it is, government coming to fuck me in the ass. Thats why we gotta abolish all taxes. God bless america.
I used to live in Kansas. That place is the worst.

I have no children. Why should I pay for some progressive daycare system? Schools want money? Make them earn it like the rest of us do and stop penalizing households with no children. The same goes for the fucking public library. Charge me for a library card if I use it, don't tax me for it.

I'm sorry poverty turds like you have to give up a few bucks to support the very basic maintenance society needs in order to keep running.
And that contributing back to what you've taken and profit from,it's just sooooooooo inconvinent.
Why don't you go make your own state?
And settle an asian jungle or african desert?
Be the "unique" individual you are elsewhere.

>Wants taxes
>Liberal
Not that guy, but you seriously better be fucking joking. Taxes, while shitty, are what pay for the roads you drive on, the cops who (for the most part) keep criminals away from you, and all that fancy free food I'm sure you're mooching off the system with EBT and food stamps.
No taxes = No money to be spent on the country or state's infrastructure = place falls apart and starts to look more and more like Africa each day.
Pay your fucking taxes, or leave the fucking country.

Listen, Pocahontas...I'll pay for fire & police, I'll pay for infrastructure. I use those services. The current education system is a welfare state for liberal snowflakes who cannot even teach children the basics or have you not seen the stats about high school graduates? Compare those to the ones coming out of private schools. All schools should be profit-driven enterprises so that they compete to create the best students.
Just as I'm not going to buy sub-standard produce from the grocery or hire a half-assed contractor to add onto my deck, I don't want to pay the taxes for schools & education as they are not providing me with the product I want to invest in.

>I have no children. Why should I pay for some progressive daycare system?
Do you want a massive gap in population demographics because people suddenly stopped having children when the government no loner supported that pursuit? Let's see how well you're doing when there's a massive dip in consumers driving the economy, and shortage of skills across the board.
The only reason you make any money to begin with is because of the same society that charges you a little tax so that it can keep running.
If you want to live independently in the woods and replace paying taxes with wrestling bears, go for it.

A conservative that's fixated on ass fucking. How surprising.
>>50946
Wow, average murrican here.
>>51047
Yep, but corruption is pretty bad when in socialist systems
>>51182
Corruption under capitalist systems is equally corrupt without regulation. The free market has proven incapable of regulating itself.
btbhrhryh
>>51191
It's corrupt with regulation, too, because the regulators are themselves also corrupt.
>>51193
Then regulate the regulators
>>51192
I agree.
Some people figure this mess has a lot to do with the fact that the Koch family is based in Kansas and have a ton of financial involvement in who wins and loses elections there. Their plan might really be to tank the educational system and then force everybody to enroll in private and religious schools.
>>51262
Was going bankrupt part of your plan?

>he was feeling the bern

This is a common tactic. Starving an insititution so it can't function only to say, "Look this doesn't work. Lets put in something different."
This is true of the trolly system LA once had and it MAY be true for Kansas's school issue.

>wrestling bears
for some reason I thought that would be like a dream come true. certainly gave me the happiest thought for the day.
>>51047
>bears are regional.
>>51262
sounds like a solid plan
