Anybody read up on how much more expensive inner city schools are to run, yet under-perform? Those attending have a lot more to do with it, but Liberals feel tossing a lot of money at it will make it all go away instead of tackling the crux of the problem or at least STATING it on a national scale. Then again, Bill Cosby said it and the black community mostly ostracized him for it....but embrace scum like Al Shaprton...go figure=)
But as all conservatives will agree the government is not creating enough jobs to create employment for all who would like full time jobs. Supply and demand keeps the wages low partially abetted by the number of illegal immigrants working in the US. And who basically controls government? Who provides the majority of lobbying money that determines government policies? It is most certainly the wealthy both on the Conservative side and the Liberal side assuming there is actually two sides which is actually subject to some doubt.
Have you actually ever been into an inner city school? Have you actually any experience or are you just parroting. Just go ahead and post your data showing that per pupil expenditure in poor schools is higher than it is in wealthy schools.
get two part time jobs then. I have held up to 3 jobs at one time teaching, reffing, and cashier at Pepboys find them noone is entitled to working just 40 hours a week. I'd pull 70 hours a week sometimes. Currently, I only hold 2 jobs..... teaching and reffing.... and work roughly 65 hours a week. 3, 20 hour a week jobs equals that roughly..... - - - Updated - - - get two part time jobs then.

Or maybe when the schools are so bad the result is nobody values the education the schools don't provide.
Stop rewarding the poor with welfare for every baby they pop out that they can't afford to have. Funny though, they all seem to have $400 dollar smart phones. So I guess they CAN afford their own birth control!
well, working at an innercity school, and then working with 13 teachers that all of us ended up at a rural school in another part of the county just by chance.... the teachers were largely the same... yet, for some reason.... the second school was an A school whereas the innercity school was an f. was the system different in the second school.... the teachers were pretty much the same... seems like the community was the x factor
So you think this is a desirable state of affairs. I would wish for you and for all who are willing to work as hard as you do that a decent income could be achieved with a number of working hours that allows a life outside of work.
Where you live full time teachers are assigned to schools at random? I didn't think that actually happened in any school district.
I agree. I make those same points on a daily basis to those who have the latest electronic devices and brand new cars yet complain they don't have enough money to afford to be spending money on things like over-the-counter drugs and good amounts of food...
Great idea lets punish the children for the sins of their parents. You probably would like the Swift solution to the problem of poor children.
What are you peddling? If the political/economical landscape is not compatible with the needs of the nation in general, the less people are going to be able to take charge of their own lives, and they will become more and more dependent on the too large to fail crowd and the government if those mega corporate government darlings have no use for them. Do you believe overtaxing and over regulating has an effect on the economy? How about selective deregulating or preferential treatment when it comes to tax breaks, grants, and corporate welfare schemes? Who do you think is doing this? That 3rd generation government dependent? Do you not see the devastating effects these extreme examples from both ends of the political spectrum has on the economy, especially the cronyism/favoritism, and government manipulation? Probably not, since you are a cheerleader for everything that is wrong with this corruption. Corruption that is destroying the nations economy, the middle class, and the working poor. This is the two party scam. Playing both ends against the middle so a small minority can benefit and excel.
Scott Walker literally Saved the State.Took it from near bankruptcy to being in the black.He did it by also saving Home Owners money on their property taxes. An identical approach that President Bush used in 2001 to get the country out of the Clinton inherited recession. By giving ALL americans who paid income tax a tax break. Just like reducing Capital Gains rates also spurs on a stock market. But Liberals are blockhead belligerent.That is why they adore Obama who only knows one way.To double down on his ridiculous micromanaging incompetence.
What you and all the other Socialists/Marxists/Communists refuse to understand is that in an open, free-market, competition-based economy, YOU ARE PAID EXACTLY WHAT YOU ARE WORTH TO THE LABOR MARKET! Thus, "burger-flippers" are worth x-number of dollars per hour... "rocket scientists" are worth y-number of dollars per hour. All the hyperliberal, confiscatory, Communist doctrine says is, "From each according to his ability -- to each according to his need." It was practiced to the point of utter stagnation, decay, and failure in the Soviet Union, and in pre-capitalism China. It is still practiced in such "paradises" as North Korea and Cuba. Is THAT what you want?! Bottom line: if you want to "earn a living", then go out and EARN A LIVING! But if YOUR income accomplishments fall short of YOUR ambitions, it is up to YOU to change that -- not some "government".... Hint: anybody can flip burgers, or shovel ****. However, not just anybody can pick up surgical tools and save a life, or take other momentous actions to make our lives happier and more productive. There actually ARE reasons WHY some of us EARN more money than others....
Taxcutter says: I don't know about where you live but here in Indiana we pour 25% more per-pupil funding into inner-city IPS than into suburban Carmel-Clay schools. This is often the case in many states.
You rather give the parents welfare for the children that the parents then go out and by the $400 phone and rims/stereos/video screens for the car? Who is really punishing their child(ren)?
So typical of the left's denial ... Angrytaxpayer posted: If Democrats would stop raising taxes on everything it might have been a living wage. And you "Pardy" foolishly posted: Can you give us an example of a recent example of Democrats raising taxes? And then I posted: "OWEblamerCare... Geez" Thus derailing any further line of BS to refute the fact that democrats raised taxes.... Of course, now you will come up with some BS cockamamie spin to try and squirm out of how that would some how make you "wrong"... but save yourself further embarrassment... leftist denial is so typical and predictable.
http://www.gao.gov/products/GAO-03-234 There ya go. It varies per area, as expected, but considering our utterly pathetic PC culture and this being a govt study, lets bet the inner city schools spend more because it wouldn't fit the narrative otherwise=)
All President LBJ's idea did was promote the dependent class to increase exponentially. In short you're rewarding failure. You must be proud.
Utter nonsense. The pay should be comparable to the WORK BEING DONE. Where do you guys come up with this Fantasyland Socialist Bullcrap?
Please quote Walker stating that he considers MINIMUM WAGE a lifetime career for raising families, or admit your thread title is a COMPLETE LIE.
So? Most new jobs being created aren't, either. I got by fairly decently on a full time minimum wage job after high school; it paid for a small apartment and a used car, all my expenses, my college tuition and books, food, utilities, and still had enough to sock back savings. Adjusting it to reflect real inflation is perfectly reasonable.
Actually the study shows in some areas higher spending and lower spending in other areas. It is a study of cities not education in general. Also the study is very careful to say that the results cannot be extrapolated to other areas.
Can you actually prove that LBJ's program caused the increase in the number of people on welfare. Note that posting charts showing both going up at the same time does not demonstrate cause and effect.
