then the repukes pulled all the general fund money that was also dedicated to schools from them. Now we cut taxes on the job cremators and get to shine their boats and airplanes for $10.00 an hour.

Maybe, and I just say maybe, Branson could buy Georgia and auction it off to some high rolling CEO from Goldman Sachs and really get the libertarian dream rolling/

whadda you guys think of that idea?
