The survey is so narrow as to be worthless. "People support more funding for education really?" Who wants to sound like they oppose our nation's children? Of course the survey didn't propose any specific amounts just a broad idea. And who should get more money, elementary, secondary, high schools or colleges? If the taxcut was decreased we all know that the majority of that money would not end up in the education system. So this survey has a broad philosopical idea that would never be implemented. Amercians think education can be solved by throwing money at it when the real solution is for parents to take a more active role in their children's education. Why have Chinese immigrants managed to become so highly educated and placed in society? This isn't a racist statement. Asians make up 2% of the Texas population but 14 % of the University of Texas at Austin's student composition, this is the similar across the nation. Why? Are they superior genetically or is it because Asiatic cultures in general place a greater emphasis on obeying parents, society and getting a good education. More spending isn't the solution greater motivation from parents and students is.
Oh and wtf, your talking about New York right? Mexicans? Everyone knows you have dirty Puerto Ricans. Puerto Rico spends huge amounts on welfare with 60% of Puerto Ricans qualifing for it. obviously Puerto Ricans have a history of using welfare. 1 in 4 children live in poverty in a state with the highest tax rate? I wonder if there is a connection... oh well just raise taxes during a recession that's a great idea. Because you can't cut spending that's just crazy, all the other states should contribute to your relief instead.
