    If the poor can read for free maybe they can get a job.

    Thank you, no. I am not paying taxes on top of buying my own AP/SAT/ACT practice books for the one year that I’m going to use each.

    Let’s make America even dumber!

    I think that should be left up to the community. I lived in some communities where I would support one and I lived in communities where I thought the library should go.

    But I do like your thinking, we need to cut, cut, cut, but I would start elsewhere.

    I’m with you on this one. While we’re at it, let’s get rid of the police and fire fighters too. After all, why should my tax dollars go toward paying for someones house on fire? Why should my tax dollars pay for you being in danger of getting assaulted, raped?

    Conservatism is a disease.

    roads
    police
    fire departments
    public hospitals
    public libraries
    and, of course,
