As long as there are folks in this country who want "a free ride" and liberals want these folks to vote for them, there will be no fair tax. The word "fair" is a word that gets thrown out at the git-go. <br> EDUCATION: I am so sick and tired of throwing money at our education problems, and blaming teachers for the fact our children are not learning. Up until 1963 when I graduated from high school, we had a darn good educational system. Teachers had more students, less money, less help, less time off (never heard of teacher work days when school was out-- they worked every day) and graded papers and prepared report cards at night all for less pay. There were no drugs or riots nor guns and teachers afraid of students. They had paddles and they used them. We learned back then. Why don't some rocket scientist check it out and determine when our educational problems began and just maybe the problem will slap you in the face. We cannot fix the problem until we identify it. In throwing more money at it, is it not possible we are "feeding" the problem. Identifying the problems, however, may just require someone having the intestinal fortitude enough to "call a spade, a spade" and letting the chips fall where they may. I doubt that will ever happen.
