We've never been taught to think.

Gawd bless the Republicans. At least they let us know where they stand. Yes, $30 billion in aid to the unemployed is unaffordable, but 20 times that much in tax cuts for the rich is just fine. Only in America could such a stance gain the approval of voters. Including voters in the ranks of the poor and the middle classes. That's because people are stupid. They don't know any better. So they suppprt an ever-widening gap between the rich and the poor, between the 'haves' and the 'have-nots.' It doesn't make sense. So, I'm wondering. Maybe it's our educational system. Many of us have never been taught to think. --Jim Broede
