Places like Ca that require the most would also suffer the most. Its obviously very complicated and tried to have a serious conversation.
Your post made absolutely no sense. Oh ... I see. You are in NY so it's past midnight for you. Maybe you should revise this tomorrow after a good night's sleep.

It's a PEOPLE problem; a SOCIETAL ILL that we cannot seem to get our asses in gear about. It doesn't matter if it's a blue state or a red state; to have such a negative statistic for education is a MAJOR PROBLEM FOR EVERY STATE. I just want to bang my head against a wall when people cannot look outside there party for a second to see it doesn't mean sh*t and both party's are screwing us in front of our face! They fight for show, but they are slapping hands and high fiving when the curtains close.
EXACTLY! Our kids are suffering and both political parties are fighting over who's to blame. We need both parties to put their heads together and come up with some REAL solutions!

You can blame Gov for your problems. I will evaluate what is the best solution and try to find someone that is willing to exmine all possible solutions rather than stay in their box to converse with.

Those who do not complain about taxes are obviously not being forced to pay them.

Yes! I do blame California's government (both the dems and reps) for failing to serve the needs of Californians and for mismanaging our tax dollars! We definitely need to get past partisianship and see that our federal and state governments are failing us and are NOT looking out for our best interests!
