10. An ignorant electorate is just a bonus

For GOP legislatures, this is just so irresistible. They can funnel billions of taxpayer dollars to cronies, destroy public education, scapegoat teacher unions, add anti-science religious indoctrination and create an ignorant, low-wage population all in one sweet package that affirms their devotion to "Free-Market Solutions".

All it needs is more guns, tobacco and toxic waste to make it the most favorite conservative idea ever.
