Yeah, like I've said, I am willing to pay more taxes, GfinS... I've said that repeatedly... We are the least taxed country in the industrialized world and it is beginning to show... Our infrastructure is crumbling making US less competitive... Our poverty rate is the highest... Our educational system is in a major downward free fall... Did you see the scores that were published yesterday on our educational levels, GfinS??? Very pathetic and should be a wake-up call for our nation... If we don't go back to educating out people, and soon, then we won't have a labor force that will have even the basic skills needed to compete in a global economy... That means, quit bashing education as if folks who have it are the "inferior" people... That has to change or the country is headed toward 3rd World status...

So, yeah, I'm willing to pay more to get our country running again... Right now it's like an old car that hasn't been in the shop for years... It's on the verge of breaking down for good...

Yeah, you may like living in a 3rd World Country, GfinS, but lots of US don't...
