Ponder This

The economy is strong, companies are looking for employees and many people have money to spend. Then what is the problem with respect to funding public education in many parts of America?

If the money is there then why are suburban voters screaming about spending for referendums? Why are inner city and rural schools finding it hard to fund various school programs and other initiatives? And lest people think this is all talk or a farce then go check out these talks and talk to the constituents.

Where is the REAL money? That's the point...much of the money in this economy gets in the hands of the very wealthy. That's just a fact. Just look at the new tax law. Look at the REAL wages of many inner city and rural areas. Make no mistake about it, I'm not complaining that people have wealth. What I am saying is that many areas where education funding is needed, people don't have the cash to make improvements.
