Mexican American from California, he voted for the side of beef last election. Just got off the phone with him and he told me he’s voting for Trump! I’m so pumped!!!
The problem is that we have a system that basically forces both parents to work if they want to live in that nice cul-de-sac. Taxes and regulations drive the cost of living and the price of housing and cars and life in general so high that both parents have to work.
I know, this is happening to us. I can't get a job in my field that pays enough to support a family on my own, even though a similarly trained guy from a generation ago could do it. Companies aren't willing to pay enough (Thanks H1B Visas!) and life is so expensive that we both have to work and home schooling or community schooling is impossible or out of reach price-wise.
We have to make MASSIVE systemic changes in our society away from the big-government massive tax and regs system we have to force prices to drop. Locking down ALL immigration of any kind for a Generation would also go a long way towards ensuring good wages. Once all of that is done, THEN we can afford to get rid of the public school system.
In the meantime a voucher system that has your tax money follow your kid would be a good stopgap solution to introduce competition into the system while we fix the other crap.
We have a loooooong way to go to undo 100 years of lefty fuckery.
I see imploding the school system as the first step in reversing a lot of this stuff. As long as it exists it's going to be cranking out useful idiots that know more about activism than arithmetic, that will continue to vote for more of it.
