Very easy. Look at your paycheck or your quarterly taxes. That is where the money comes from. Too many folks have the mindset that money comes from the government. It does not. It comes from you and me and that is the mindset we all need to have. It is YOUR money paying for teachers, cops, govt employees, and so on. Those politicians only allocat it and there is a HUGE difference. It is up to the citizens to determine who it is that does that. Now if the same people keep getting elected that means the majority is very happy with the way things are. It means that education has a very low priority with todays citizens. That is what I believe to be true. I believe that folks are much more concerned with football, concerts, vacation, brewpubs and on and on than they are with education. Now this is all just my own opinion. One thing is for sure though and not my own opinion is that WE pay teachers not politicians.
