America's Biggest Threat

[header]

I'm not against spending a couple bucks to update schools or make new ones as long as the money goes to the right place. That's the problem. I live in one of the fastest growing communities in the region. Because of this more families are moving in with their kids and they need to expand the school capabilities. The rapid growth has put a strain on pocketbooks because they are expanding schools to accomodate the new students but the state isn't redirecting funds to the district. Instead the money is going to school that some say doesn't need it. Thus then, taxes go up.

Just like anything though, it is situation and busing and vouchers and shit are a reasonable solution to part of the problem.

I don't mind throwing money into the system when there is money. What I don't like is the tax the rich to support the poor mentality. McGreevey instituted the Millionaire's tax. And just like the people fed up with property taxes in Jersey the Millionaires will move out of the state and find a more suitable living arrangement that benefits them. Then where will my crappy state be? Even higher property taxes to pay for all the new programs that the millionaire tax created.
