Underfunded schools have a lot to do with local and state governments not just the fed. Places like here in Alabama we cant have a lotto or small casinos because the are the "devil" and they could use said tax for schools.

I also said that I would vote for a 10% flat tax hike to every person paying income tax to cover medical insurance for everyone. I would also rather have just a flat tax also. I don't like the tax tiers that we have now, it causes class warfare.

Start wars? we are not the only ones to start a war. Believe it or not, we were attacked on 9/11... ( I don't believe that we should still be there now)Isn't Canada in Afghanistan and Iraq with us?
We didn't start WW2 or WW1, but we came to the aid of the allies when it was needed. But we are also the country that other countries come calling on if the sh*t hits the fan.
I'm not taking your post personal, I don't mind having a discussion about ideals as long as we don't start getting personal.
