Our educational system is funded by property taxes. Poor neighborhoods with low taxes are in lead pipe infested schools, with poor nutrition, & questionable home life. It is a unfair, racially & class separation motivated. We are in the throws of not resolving our funding issues & segregation issues. Grappling with our inequities causes much unrest. How to address these issues democratically & fairly is an ongoing debate. Since Raygun began dismantling the safety nets of the federal government, our prisons have become our insane asylums, our veterans are homeless & suicidal, our
affordable housing is not affordable, our Defense department is awash in money they don't need & tried to refuse, the drug war is lost, the war on poverty is lost, the war in Syria, Iraq, Somalia, Yemen, Afghanistan, are lost. People can not even write a grammatically correct sentence here. Our infant mortality rate is inexcusably high as our obesity rate climbs above 50%. Very depressing.
