How do we get out of the current "education" paradigm?

NJ taxes are mostly due to education. SO how do we get people that have the children pay to educate them?

We need a innovation in "leaves"

Annoying how they blow back.

Life in Mint Hill

Feel free to visit a young fellow's first steps in the blogosphere. While I know him from a sprout, he's strayed politically to the side of big gooferment. Watch as I carefully, gently, but firmly try to steer him back to the side a truth, justice, and small government. I've been working on his Dad for a while and it's starting to show. "Gooferment" is now firmly established in his vocabulary.

Zoning Board

Does anyone listen to the Zoning Board on Channel 3? I am particularly upset when a poor home owner (Correction occupier!) comes before the "board" and begs for a dispensation from this diktat or that regulation. Whose property is it? And, don't get me started on the property taxes. You really are just renting "your" property from the local version of the gooferment. Like the bumper sticker says: "Onle government can make you pay for services you don't want!".

At least they're trying (Not really imho. Remember what Yoda says)

>At least they're trying

That might be one description of what they are doing. I describe it as using the guns of government to steal value from the casinos and put themselves more firmly in control.

>close the loophole which allows smoking in casinos

Since the casino is presumably private property, why does the gooferment presume to tell them what they can and can not do

>This loophole should never have been there in the first place

Please this is the "boiling a frog" strategy. They are just turning up the temperature.

>no employees will have to be exposed to the smoke

You make it sound like the poor employees are too stupid to seek work that suits them elsewhere.

>I almost feel sorry for the casinos here

But, not enough to leave them alone in peace to make people happy.

>they gave a fig about their employees

Hard to run a casino without employees. If the employees were as upset as you are, they'd seek other employment. This would force the casinos to compete for labor and offer more and better.

>maybe we could feel bad for them.

I feel bad for us. When the thugs in Trenton get tired of the casinos, or when the casinos go broke, (the silver city casino in lv went smokeless in an attempt to compete and closed when it went broke), then they will have to raise money from somewhere. Guess who? And, if they can tell the casinos "no smoking", then why not your house? And, if they can legislate their morality about smoking, then why not fast foods, or slow foods, or what you watch on TV, or anything.

No, feel bad for us. Those thugs are robbing us blind, imprisoning us, and enforcing their will on us.

It's immoral.

There's a saying that goes something like "The hallmark of a bad ideas is when you have to force people to conform. Good ideas are adopted willingly. Bad ideas are circumvented."
