          I will never understand why we think this is ok as Americans. I just don't get it. But we do. Especially the folks in power (the rich).

          Why is this acceptable? And from the comments.

          Really, for those of you who are doubting this let me explain. My daughter works extra jobs to make it. She is a teacher. Her only debt is a small car, and her car insurance. Her apartment is $970. a month, plus electric. Her salary is $37,000.00, but after taxes, state income tax, teacher retirement contribution, and health insurance take 40% then she only makes $22,000. She takes extra jobs to make ends meet. You do the math. Shame on you for judging and assuming that they are not managing their finances correctly or have too much debt. Shame, shame shame on you.
          This country sucks.

              Fuking vote Democratic then. Politicians rarely do anything that will cost them their jobs. Voters allowed knuckledraggers and Nazis to take over these states and pass tax cuts for billionaires financed by gutting education spending. Its one thing for this to occur in Mississippi where education isn't exactly the state's calling card. But Wisconsin, Michigan, etc people should know better.

                I assume teachers already do. Voters have now told the teachers what they think of them. Maybe they should just leave the country? I'd like to but maybe it's as hard for them to do it as it is for me.

                  I don't necessarily agree Scoobs. I recall reading What's the Matter With Kansas (a book that I didn't necessarily care for) but the author had a good anecdote about how his retired teacher father would nod in agreement while listening to Limbaugh attack teachers unions. Too many people sit out elections waiting for someone else to do the voting for them, or don't properly consider the Republicans are no longer the kindly grandfather country club types but instead Ayn Rand loving white supremacist loons who will in fact cut education to pay for tax cuts while they send their spawn off to private school where they don't have to mix with those "other" kids.

                    Interesting. I guess I assumed things like that were on the margins but maybe it is pervasive. Either way. This country sucks.

                          Fear and jealousy are the causes IMO.

                            Not always, but definitely true since 1865.

                              It’s not so much a disdain for intellectualism as it is a culture of political nihilism. Plenty of people believe in paying teachers living wages, socializing health care and other liberal beliefs, but they also firmly believe that those things can’t be done because “it doesn’t matter, both sides are the same” or “it just can’t be done, people won’t accept it.”

                                Trump and Clinton were the same except for the criminal part. Only one of them is a criminal and it's not the President.
