See they cut schools of funding so the rich get their tax cuts. Like Obama and congress back in 2007 gave the rich 2 years of tax give aways, so the states are doing the same thing now. But the families who are suffering the loss of educational services are NOT the families who are getting the tax cuts.

So the Waltons get to buy another Lexus for their drunk mother to wreck, and you get to see your daughter miss out on algebra. (She's a girl, so she really doesn't need math anyway. Ask Mrs. Walton or Mrs. Gates how much math they needed to get ahead.)
