: Getting onformation from one political partiy's web site is certainly not a good way to get objective information.
: The Republican party works to further the interests of coporations, cares little about the environment, or about the needy. Every time that taxes are cut for the wealthiest in our society, this increases the burden on the middle and working classes. Wealthy people can afford to live in gated communities where they provide municipal services only for themselves. Most of us rely on the police and fire fighters in our communities, who are paid through taxes. Wealthy peoople can afford to send their children to expensive private schools; the majority of Americans rely on public shcools. When publis schools have little money, the entrie society suffers. Wealthy people can affor expensive health insurance. Many working families have none at all. It is in the interest of the wealthy elite to cut their taxes, because they can afford to get the services they need. The majority of America suffers under such circumstances.
: Our current administration has reneged on the Kyoto treaty and has alienated many countries of the world by its bullying behavior.
: These are hardly reasons for anyone to become a GOP Team Leader.

Okay, the welfare line is to the left! Stop feeling sorry for yourself. No one said you can't be wealthy. Don't forget some countries have no public schools. Some of the public schools in this nation may not be the best but parents are also responsible. Some parents really don't care about their childs education. The want their child to be the next Wayne Gretzky or Mike Ditka. This is fine but if you don't let your local school board know you want you child to get the best education they will not act. "Action may not always bring happiness; but there is no happiness without action". _ Benjamin Disraeli
If you don't like the way your children are getting educated do something about it. We don't live in the USSR. At least here you can try and change the system, but only IF YOU GET INVOLVED!!!
