I am a registered R, who wants an educated community!
I also live in a rural area where people enter the store in barefeet, paying for a piece of pizza, and a soda with ebt.....getting a pack of 305s with change....and lighting the cig with a lighter at the counter because they cant afford a lighter...... i see a money grab getting ready to happen....at tax payers expenses.
Crime goes up when education levels go down, you do understand that is an established static? More crime....more Prison industrial complex built....at tax payers expenses.
I would rather raise and pay taxes for modern schools with the best teachers....than to raise taxes because of local jail overcrowding.
I am certain you agree.
