Boy, Tdog, you are right on! We spend WAY too much on education. AND, I did the research! (pat on the back for me)...check it out right here: www.census.gov/compendia/statab/2012/ranks/rank20.html
The average K-12 teacher salary in the US is $50,500 (with a high end of $63K in California and a low of $35K in S. Dakota).
A look at the median shows an even more shocking statistic...$45.5K!! All these teachers are breaking us. Plus, they're probably only paying a marginal tax rate of ONLY 25%!!! Why, we need to crack down on this.
Here in Colorado, our teachers routinely buy things for their poorer students out of their own pockets...things that the kid's family cannot afford. I think it is time to REQUIRE these "teachers" (or if you will, LEACHERS) to pay for ALL of the supplies used in their classrooms for ALL students. Why should it be only the poor cashing in on this "benefit"??? This goes on much longer and they might think of it as an "entitlement". Let's stop this nonsense and all vote for Romney! God love ya, Tdog, you have finally convinced me. All of your work has paid off. In fact, I think I will go donate this week's beer money to the Romney campaign...god knows he needs every dime.

Come on, seriously man. Don't you see how the unions and the democrat party are colluding resulting in costs of education rising sky high ????? REally ? Do I have to do everyone's research here ?
My God man, THINK !
We live in a divided America. Romney spoke of it to his mega wealthy immoral donors. (Check out the fat cat who hosted the party, it's shameful how he lives and the people who attend his orgies live) Do not forget forget about the 47%. Most people do not want the Affordable Health Care Act repealed. Facts matter. Romney does not have any policies that you can speak of. List any specific policy, just one specific thing, like one tax loophole he would close. The Economist magazine's current issue has a great article regarding this topic. Paul Kurgman also has a great article in today's paper.
The whole deficit thing is total BS. Which party sent us to war, the longest war in our history and put it on a credit card? That is absolutely unconscionable! Who wants these war's continued? Who has profited from the war's? Romney is not the answer especially when things (the economy) are getting better. Read Paul Krugman's article.
Lastly, Romney wants to cut education! Read while you still can. The national IQ of the country is 24 in the world and going down. Pretty exceptional don't you think.

Freedom is truth.
Although economies were also different when this was read so you could make that argument as well in regards to doctor's payment. However refusing treatment to sick people without proper payment does seem to be important in the Oath as well as upholding the well-being of citizens without the need of compensation, except knowing that you extended help to another human being in a time of need. Just food for thought.
