Rachel Maddow: ‘Direct attack on public education’

Rachel Maddow: ‘Direct attack on public education’
For those "Experts" on what makes a teacher I have some advice, be prepared to inform a class of 30 ten year old children that their classmate was hit by a car and killed the night before, and then be able to deal with the grief as well as your own. Be confident to ask a six foot fourteen year old angry boy for the knife that you have been told he has, and then watch him pull out a six inch dagger from his boot...put it on the desk.. and begin to cry. Know the right words to tell a child that her mother lost her battle with cancer and has died. Encourage a child with bruises to be truthful on how he got them... be prepared to comfort a child whose parent was arrested for domestic abuse.. and then continue teaching basics. Jacquelyn Haworth, retired teacher, OH.

Rachel Maddow: House GOP preserves subsidies for big oil

Rachel Maddow: House GOP preserves subsidies for big oil
5 Big Oil companies made nearly $ Trillion over past decade.
They are budgeted to be given $45 Billion in subsidies this year by the house. The move was defeated in the House and Doc Hastings voted to defeat it.
Congressman now we know whose side you are on.
But they don't employ more people today than in 2005 they employed 84 thou people but in 2008 - 80 thou. The profits went up from 36.1 to 45.2. Subsidies to these highly profitable company while cutting salary of teachers is insane.

Rachel Maddow: Taking the revenue out of the IRS

Rachel Maddow: Taking the revenue out of the IRS
There is a third way: To catch evaders. But to do that you have to pass the friends of tax evaders.
$1 saves $10 by catching tax evasion. But Republicans want to cut IRS budget $600 million which will result in $10B, tax evasion. It is similar to not appointing mine inspector in West Virginia resulting in huge accident and death. That is what Republican party wants to do.
Crony capitalism:
  1. Bottom 90% average wages have gone up by only $300 from what they made in 1980
  2. But top one tenth of 1%'s income has gone up from $1.4 million to $6million
Per David Cay Johnston, Professor of Syracuse University in last 30 years, all the gains have gone to the top one tenth of 1% or 300, 000 people.
