(I recently asked my nephew, who is a freshman in high school, what he was taught about money, U.S. history and civics and his answer was . . . . . nothing. ) ---------------- The day is coming when "it" won't even be called a school.

Of course you do remember $10 rude crude...Post Oak properties at auction prices. I remember going to farm tractor implement auctions. Remember Texans squealing to high heaven back then for "someone to save,"us?
Shortly after Arnold was elected Gov. he quickly floated 3 propositions on the ballot to reform state Gov. The first was a constitutional admendment to cap the future growth of state spending to a formula based on population growth and annual inflation. This would effectively schakel lawmakers from legislating irresponsible spending. The real shocker is that the population of CA actually shot this proposition down. It was coined the "Live within our means Act". The majority of voters here seem to think that indifinite, indescriminite, spending is ok.
Just because someone doesnât pay taxes doesnât mean they are not hard working or not responsible. When someone works 2 jobs, 40+ hours a week and still canât afford a small apartment or health insurance, something is wrong. Can you blame them for voting for what they thought they were supposed to get by working hard? We were told when we were little that if we worked hard and played by the rules, then we can do anything. But does anybody really think thatâs the case today? Granted there are many people who are lazy and think they are owed everything, but this is not most people. Think of it another way. Yea those people on minimum wage donât pay taxes, but letâs say that every person should make $5 an hour more, but they donât because of a tight labor market. So for every 10 people who make minimum wage, 1 person is getting all that extra money and paying taxes on it, at a higher rate. So in the end doesnât it work out?
