The following is adapted from a speech delivered in...
Jennifer Gustafson Barnhouse~ "What other case might be made for federal involvement in education? Its contributions to good educational practice? Think of the good things that have happened to education in the last 30 years—the growth of homeschooling and the invention and spread of charter schools."
RGeorgeDunn~ That is local education, not federal. Newt states we need to send education back to the local schools, counties, State, in that order. Education is not a Constitutional enumeration. The blow-back from willfully violating the Law of the Land is injustice and creeping tyranny.
There needs to be a transition period to wean off federal dollars and reduce unconstitutional spending. We are better served to reduce federal burden locally, to free up income. If we fail to take this direction at this moment, we are forsaking our Liberty for the darkness to come.
It is a move, not of party, but of we the people, to take our Country back to the ideals and principles that led us so well. One principle is, by having 22% embedded federal tax in a loaf of bread, you handicap US Industry to imports at 22% federal tax business expense. Wage earners use net income to pay the tax they just paid.
We need to have a Nation wide class on how to get out of the box.
Constitutional Conduct and FairTax please~ oh ya, Vouchers for Liberty Sake~
