This was published on another blog The Democrat Lady Speaks Out and appears here with permission.
Earlier today, I saw something on my Facebook page which asked the question as to what type of human being thinks there is nothing wrong in asking a teacher to take a 20% pay cut, but cannot fathom asking a millionaire to pay an addition 3% in taxes.
There was a lot of discussion about it, as you can imagine. And, I, of course, added my two cents. Then, I thought, perhaps, my two cents was actually worth sharing with the blogosphere.
If we want to fight the conservatives in the area of education funding, PART of the answer is endowments for teacher's salaries and pensions. Here is an idea in a few steps:
1) You make conservatives happy by "investing" in something that pays interest or a dividend. If you have a 5% return, you need $1,000,000 for a $50k salary. If you want the teacher to have a bigger salary, you add to the endowment.
You can use this same fund for the teacher's retirement pension, allowing the surviving spouse/partner to receive the pension upon death of the retired teacher. BUT you need a stipulation that the funds will be used to pay a NEW teacher when both teacher and spouse/partner have gone on their great reward in the sky. Thus, you fund BOTH salary and pension at the same time.
Wall Street would practically slobber all over itself trying to make this work. Yes, you WILL have to have stipulations as to what happens in economic downturns, so that teachers salaries are not all wiped out because some stockbroker(s) or bank(s) does(do) something stupid and tanks the economy.
2) Next, you give donors to the endowment a tax deduction. (See conservatives act like sex-starved teenage boys.) Make it a charitable deduction. Currently, if a millionaire makes a donation to endow a professor's chair at a university, the millionaire gets a tax deduction. Why shouldn't anyone who gives to endow a public school teacher's salary and benefits get the same?
3) As each teacher's salary/benefits is endowed, you place the tax savings into another teacher's account. This is so all the teacher's salaries get endowed faster. There will ALWAYS be people who can get donations faster than someone else. Just like there are people who can jump higher or type faster than others. When Teacher X has all they need in their account, and they can get 100% of their salary and benefits from their endowment, the TAX money that would have gone to Teacher X can now go to Teacher Y. It helps meet the entire goal faster.
4) When it is all COMPLETE, you lower or eliminate PROPERTY taxes, and, after that, SALES taxes. Why not do this as each teacher is funded? Because the wealthy areas will be funded faster and the poorer areas not at all. Sooooooooo, if the wealthy want to be done with property and sales taxes, we need to make sure they also donate to the poorer districts. By the way, this will not work if we wait for the wealthy to fund the whole thing. All of us will have to make contributions here and there to teacher's endowments.
Donations would have to be given with no strings as to what can be taught, but can be given to specific subjects. For example, you could donate to fund a math teacher, science teacher, PE teacher...whatever you, the donor believes is important. You could NOT, for example, put a stipulation on the donation that a science teacher could not teach evolution, or a math teacher multiplication.
This will take generations to finish, but in the end, you have a fully funded public school system that includes pensions and does not depend on taxes.
Well, that's my basic idea. I am sure there are people out there that will tear my idea apart and list all the reasons why "liberals" like me can't possibly know what we are talking about.

We Are Troy Davis: What Gives Me Hope in the Battle against the Death Penalty
Note: I originally posted this as comment here: Daily Kos: We Are Troy Davis
I gained hope from seeing and hearing of the tremendous outpouring of support and growing awareness of America's shame in allowing the death penalty to stay on the books.
As I was visiting and posting on several different forums last night, I encountered at least half a dozen comments from people who said they had been supportive or at least ambivalent about the death penalty, and were now reconsidering their stance on it. That is how minds change and how a movement gets going - one person at time being faced with an insupportable situation and rethinking their position because of it.
In most cases I was able to reply to these posts with some factual information, such as that the states without the death penalty have lower homicide rates. This surprised even me, but I live in one of those states (NM) and I have to say it doesn't seem like crime in NM has gone off the rails in the two years since it was abolished here. I did a quick Google search to see if my conclusions were correct, and it brought up a wealth of information. I'm posting the link here if any of you want to use it future discussions:
Google: states without the death penalty
Also, I would like to extend my enormous gratitude to Amy Goodman and the staff & producers of DemocracyNow, and the guests that were interviewed, for the superlative work they did last night in covering this. (As well as their impressive work in following the case over time.) Benjamin Jealous of the NAACP, along with the man from Amnesty International, did an excellent job of explaining the legal issues and ramifications of this entire case. Those who saw even part of this broadcast last night have received an education that will not soon be forgotten.

GOP Health Care Plan Postcard from BoldlyLiberal* at Zazzle.com
GOP Health Care Plan Postcard from Zazzle.com
Gotta love the GOP, they're so fond of simple slogans. Remember their answer to all our energy problems: "Drill, Baby, Drill?" All righty then, we thought we'd help them out with a simple way to explain their plan for health care: Just DIE, Baby, DIE! After all, they cheered on prime-time TV over the thought of an unemployed, 30-year-old man dying because he had no insurance. Oh sure, he "choose" not to buy it, therefore I guess in their tiny little minds, he "deserved" to die. The GOP/TP: such great "deciders" of who deserves to live or die. (They also think leading the nation's record on executions is cool. Even if that includes executing innocent people). What are they, a death cult?

A "Cult of Ignorance" in the US - Asimov quote updated.
I saw this quote going around, and posted it on Facebook:
And one of my friends commented:
There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there always has been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that 'my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.'" - Isaac Asimov, column in Newsweek (21 January 1980)
And one of my friends commented:
Interesting. And especially who said it. Also, true. Is the celebration of ignorance just laziness, or what? (don't worry, I'm being rhetorical ; )
To which I replied:
Good rhetorical question ;) I think Asimov nailed it with the part about the flase notion of democracy. Ya know, one thing the Tbaggers hate about us 'liberal elitist scum' is that they think we think we're better than them (because among other things, we're smarter and better educated). Well, any normal person would use such feelings of envy as motivation to better themselves. But the tbaggers use it as an excuse to lash out and destroy everything good they can get their hands, to drag everything down to their level. They remind me of the Morlocks in Huxley's Brave New World.
Okay, I got the Morlocks wrong. They were from H.G.Wells's The Time Machine. Anyway, when I Googled the term to check which novel they came from, this little gem came up:
E - er's race ofHmm, ring any bells? Just think ... tonight's GOTP debate was highlighted by audience applauding for the idea that someone without health insurance could be left to die in a coma. Crazy Killer mole/apes they are. Let's hope - and work - to make sure they NEVER acheive "supremeity."
L - little
O - odd looking cattle
I - inevitably to be eaten by the...
M - monsterous creatures
O - of the underground
R - ruling the world
L - like a species
O - of
C - crazy
K - killer mole/apes in
S - suprimeity.

The working-person icon Rosie the Riveter reminds of just one of the many benefits the trade unions have brought us. Things we take for granted - like paid sick leave, workplace safety, sane working hours, and many more. And all of these are in danger in the funneling of power into the hands of the corporations. So take a moment right now to remember what collective bargaining has saved for us, and stand up for the union!

Man Dies of Toothache
Man Dies of Toothache
In order to understand the absolute RAGE I feel at this moment, you should, first, visit the above link and read about 24-year-old Kyle Willis who died of a tooth infection because he did not have the money he needed for the antibiotic.
Second, read the blog below from Michelle Makin and all the things the conservatives are doing to blame the dead gentleman for his own death.
ObamaCare Fable
I don't care what other options he had. HE DIED BECAUSE NO ONE TOLD HIM OF THOSE OPTIONS. He died because the GOP will not let government do its job. Sick people should NOT have to run around to various organizations trying to figure out how to pay for their illness. They should go to the doctor or dentist and it gets taken care of, PERIOD!
I DO NOT CARE IF HE COULD GET IT FOR FREE FROM A CHURCH, A CHARITY OR WHEREVER. HIS DENTIST or DOCTOR SHOULD HAVE BEEN ABLE TO SAY "HERE, TAKE THIS AND LIVE".
By the way, tax-phobic GOPers should note, his daughter will probably cost taxpayers a ton of money till she is grown, since her father will not be there to even provide food or lodging. Kyle Willis' death is PROOF that we need universal health coverage. If we had it, he would be alive. If he lived in Europe, he would be alive. I do NOT care what taxes they pay in the EU, I care that they do not die, like we do, to save some fat-cat on his taxes! If the GOP wants to continue to call itself the "Party of Life", they had better get off their elephants and pay taxes so people can live!
From now on, everytime I donate to a Democrat or to a charity, I will pick ONE corporation which trades on Wall Street, and email them. My email will say, roughly, "I donated here instead of buying your product, because no one will take my tax money to fix the problems of the poor and middle class." I wonder what would happen if enough people did that and Wall Street corporations began to see the money they were losing? Maybe we can get a law passed to let their stockholders know how much money is NOT being spent to buy their product or service. And, maybe, other Kyle Willis' will live to see their daughters grow up.
When I vote in 2012, I will do so in Kyle Willis' memory.

Holding US hostage
In an already shaky global economy, the biggest buyer of goods (USA) could be making cutbacks. This would be stupefyingly dumb. By playing chicken with the national debt, Washington has already irreparably wounded the US economy. The world depends on the U.S. economy running smoothly. A default would lead governments and companies to rethink their relation to the United States, and this has already happened. One blatant lie is that Republicans and Democrats, the Congress and the White House are serious about reining in budget deficits to reduce the long-term debt. They are not. We socialize the rich when they lose money, and then we socialize their ability to profit.

It's now 184 days into the 2011 Congressional year, and the GOP has yet to bring forward a single bill that would create job growth! But they have put forward a number of bills attacking women's rights, including women's right to reproductive health care. Hey - if you voted GOP in 2010, you fell for one of the biggest bait-and-switch scams ever!

Eisenhower Quote Tshirt from thedemocratlady.com
Eisenhower Quote Tshirt from thedemocratlady.com
Pres. Dwight Eisenhower, a Republican, said this in November of 1954: "Should any political party attempt to abolish social security, unemployment insurance and eliminate labor laws and farm programs, you would not hear of that party again in our political history. There is a tiny splinter group, of course, that believes that you can do these things. Among them are a few Texas oil millionaires, and an occasional politician or businessman from other areas. Their number is negligible and they are stupid."
Want to save social security? Tired of threats to MediCare? Wear this and let politicians know how you feel wherever you do!
