The fact that Americans have been so hosed over on basic education is what makes it difficult for Sanders to win. Basic math is a bitch for many people. Try asking people if they actually understand how progressive tax brackets work. I had to explain to my math teacher FIL that there is no such thing as "making less money because I moved into the next tax tier"

Trump is going to clobber her with bigger lies than she can respond with. She will have killed Democratic enthusiasm and fundraising. The past month has done more to scuttle her chances than the previous eight so she pulls a hail-mary for the General tonight delusional about the state of the primary.

this is why raising wages doesn't fix a single loving thing until you fix the education system because almost everyone is dumb and doesn't understand how math or money works

a good way to improve education would be to increase funding for poorer school districts by raising the wages of the people in those districts so they pay more in tax to the local government, imho

Oh yeah she did use it before:

quote:

In early January, Hillary Clinton dismissed the oratorical sensibilities of Barack Obama, her competitor for the Democratic Party’s nomination, admonishing him in the words of Mario Cuomo: “You campaign in poetry, but you govern in prose.”
It's a good line but I figure if the "inexperienced community organizer" figured it out, so too can probably the guy who was a mayor for almost a decade followed by 25 years in Congress.

Schools are funded mostly by municipal property taxes, not income taxes, so I'm not sure how this would help.

A couple debates ago Sanders said he didn't know what his tax plan was but that it would be "less than 90%". This 90% number has been widely used against dems.
