Bloomberg in on Meet the Press. David Gregory is interviewing him on NBC's
focus on education this week... Why would they go to Bloomberg as someone to listen to? He hasn't made NY's public schools any better. AND of course, they started out the interview on the whole tax issue. Bloomberg is rich. Many think his "Independent" party claim makes him some sort of good-hearted wealthy person with "sensible" approaches to "serious" issues. He was there throwing Buffett under the bus. His nonsense about how the rich pay so much of the taxes all ready and the wealth was made off of investment so its not really "income" made from labor, so it shouldn't be taxed the same way.... never mind that taxing the investment money from the super wealthy would generate a lot more money and teachers wouldn't have to be layer off, and maybe the kids would do better in school.

One of the biggest reasons children fail in school has to do with the economic condition and environmental condition of the child at home. 1 out of every 4 children are now living in poverty. This means that 25% of the children in school are more apt to fail or drop out. Blaming teachers for socioeconomic conditions that these children are having to grow up in, is passing the buck and allowing private rich persons to infiltrate and extract more public money into their pockets.

Its so tiring to hear the same old people being dragged out; propagandizing the conversation. The wealthy don't want the kids to actually succeed or use analytical and critical thinking skills, they need stupid people to vote against their interests and work for them for shitty wages and a shitty life, while they continue to live as parasites off 99% of the rest of the country.

Back to the tax issue... ok if the any bill will get passed it has to be "fair", so everyone has to contribute more (like anyone has an inch to budge anymore after they ruined the country), and they have to give up their "entitlements"... Hey dickwad, we actually pay for those things you call "entitlements". You fucking parasites keep sticking your fucking hands into the jar and steal it from us. You vultures need to pay it back.

I can't believe there isn't like a million people occupying wall street. Honestly, I'm angry at what these sociopaths do to people and to this world. Its more than time things actually work for the most of us and not those who do everything to make sure they have their's and keep it, while the rest eat shit sandwich.
