US Politics/2016 Election Pick Your Poison Master Thread

[JTZ]

So when your right everyone listens?

Just exercising my constitutional rights.

As much as I believe he is not fit to be president that would not be right.

It's not really a question of "right" or "not right".

The electoral system was established (like all other systems in America) so as to prevent a tyrant from taking control.

Donald Trump acts like a child and says offensive things, but, much to the dismay of both the KKK and the far-Left, he's not a tyrant.

if trump gives us vouchers i dont care if he goes around the whole day grabbing *****

I'm pretty sure you're just making an irreverent joke (something I am guilty of on this forum as well) but if you are serious, then I want to tell you in all seriousness that what you wrote is an inherent contradiction. You want vouchers in order to send your child to private school, which I am assuming means yeshiva, which I am assuming is in order to learn Torah, which is because I am assuming you want him to be a good Jew. But all of that becomes irrelevant if in order to get it we have to desensitize ourselves. As I said, it's an inherent contradiction. I'll get off my soap box now.

+1. That is absolutely

Putting aside your vulgarity, I don't see anything so compelling here. It seems like the vouchers will only be available for low income families who already receive tuition breaks from schools. Its the middle class families that feel the real strain of tuition.

"One recipient of its support: former Indiana Gov. Mitch Daniels, who created the voucher program that Trump’s vice president-elect, Mike Pence, later expanded. Indeed, DeVos’s vision puts her more in line with Pence, who has supported private school vouchers for both low- and middle-income families, than with Trump, whose plan extends only to poor families."

If enough low income families receive vouchers worth $3K - $5K per child that will go directly to the school, then eventually, the middle income families should ideally receive lower tuition bills as many of the payment that they've been paying will be covered by the (i.e.) 200 low-income students x $4K = $800,000+ in additional cash that the school may receive from these vouchers.

I'm skeptical that the schools would pass on the savings. They'll just do less fundraising.

100 percent correct.

so you'll save on all your $1800 adbook ads.. 

Vouchers would be a win-win, especially since we pay real estate taxes for the $9K - $11K per public school student to have an 'education'.
Each district should offer at least half to all day-school students, regardless of income. High income families still get free public school enrollment.
(And, here they offer 4 year of college FREE if you attended the public school system for 4 years. So the local private-school students miss out on that value, too!)

I have the distinguished honour of being a member of the Committee to raise
$50,000,000 for a monument to Hillary R. Clinton.
We originally wanted to put her on Mt. Rushmore until we discovered there was not enough room for her two faces.
We then decided to erect a statue of Hillary in the Washington, D.C. Hall
of Fame. We were in a quandary as to where the statue should be placed. It
was not proper to place it beside the statue of George Washington, who
never told a lie, or beside Barack Hussein Obama, who never told the truth,
since Hillary could never tell the difference.
We finally decided to place it beside Christopher Columbus, the greatest
Democrat of them all. He left not knowing where he was going, and when he
got there he did not know where he was. He returned not knowing where he had
been, and did it all on someone else's money.
Thank you,

P.S. The Committee has raised $2.16 so far
