2. Republicans attack our base

And measly mouth little weasel dems rush to do the dirty work and finish them off.

I've heard over and over again about charter school closings and failures and rip offs, leaving parents in a lurch, kids with sub standard eductions, the taxpayer poorer, and wall street richer.


It's fucking trickle down all over again.

30 years from now, people will realize how fucking stupid it was.

If the country survives.

Ps. Rhee is part of what's really rotting this country from the inside. A. Famous for being famous, and B. being part of the idiot pundit class, where you don't have to fucking know anything, just sound like you do.

Pps. For profit colleges. Same shit. Kids with sub standard educations, the taxpayer poorer, and wall street richer.
