Civil disobedience is the only way to deal with this issue. Observant religious must simply refuse tto obey. You might find that protestants and jews also refuse to comply.

There is nothing wrong with teaching to the test. Compare it to playing golf without knowing where the holes are. You have to know where the holes are and which club to use to reach the hole. Then you practice the shots until you master the game. Refusing to teach to the test is one bit of nonsense that is being used to dumb down our students.

Do you understand this 15% capital gains tax is a seccond tax? The "rich" have already paid between 30-40% earned income tax on that money when they first earned it. Now they have put it in the bank and it is being used by others as loans to fund businesses. They are paying 15% tax on that unearned income. People are putting their funds in overseas accounts, quite legally, because many other countries do not tax at the same rates at the US or even at all.

Good observation.

Morning Carol -I have Stage IV breast cancer that is genetic. The genetic cancers need funding for a cure. I hope that Susan G. Koman is using the funding not being spent on PP on this kind of research.

The MSM is losing its credibility because they blindly promote the lies and hypocrisy.

Planned Parenthood also provides oral contraceptives which some research studies have indicated increase the risk of breast cancer.

I'm beginning to hear whites speak openly about the anti-white bigotry of the Obama admninstration and of blacks. In the past 2 months in Phila., there have been a half dozen racially motivated black on white beatings/murders. The race card might work against Obama and the democrats.

Most of these foreign engineers are recent college graduates from American universities already living in the US. They are applying for visas to stay and work after their student visas expire.
