See how you do, elected officals, who took the quiz, scored less than
50%

That was cool.

I did ok, surprisingly.

ou answered 27 out of 33 correctly - 81.82 %
Two of them were completely bogus - two correct answers in the same
question. The one about the First Admendment (correct answer includes
due process) and the taxation question which is totally FUBAR - taxes
equals government spending also means zero debt and growth.

30 out of thirty two and IN FACT, I nailed it.

Morons.
So...why aren't you famous

Among my peers, I have quite the reputation as an original thinker and
brilliant theoritician.

or rich?

How do you know I'm not?


I'm guessing you don't make more than $5 million a year.



So, does that mean that in the new, revised Obama plan he gets a tax break?

After what you said about your investments, I'm tempted to send my modest
funds down for you to invest.
I pay Nesbitt Burns fees for handling my money and every statement I get is
smaller than the last.
I think they're more interested in calming the masses to avoid panic
selloffs rather than my best interests.

Our local high school for several years won or placed high in the national
civics Contest. Skip Mohatt was the teacher. Was an amazing run for a
public school vs. private school.
http://bulk.resource.org/gpo.gov/rec...996_E00672.pdf
Unfortunately he passed away this weekend from pneumonia as a complication
from a fall. He had Polio as a child and probably added an extra factor.
He was a giant among teachers. A reason to pay the good ones more, merit
pay. He inspired the kids. One of them has gotten a masters in
international business and foreign relations and works for the State
Department. A kid who might have just gone along working the ramp crew
for
an airline. What he did to pay for college.


Can't have good teachers get recognized. Then the bad teachers will look
worse. Any extra money for merit pay should go to union leaders. They
could
then put it in their pockets like they do in Washington, DC.

Yeah - what happened to the $250K thing? Or the immediate repeal of
the "Bush" tax plan?

Enquiring minds want to know. :)

Those were things he said while he was running for Pres.. If you go
back and read or see what he said for decades before that, you would
have known it was a bunch of bull****, and the lazy and ignorant
bought it because the media did not do it's job.. or just plain
covered up for him...

Miss read the question 10 as Constitution and not 1st admendment
