Go take a remedial reading comprehension class with Richter ... I did address your questions. Maybe you didn't get the answer you wanted to see.

Sure and you go get an enema, you're full of ... well you know.

In true 2014 LibTARD fashion, bent-arrow's part of the problem, meaning dumbed-down sheep who are ACTUALLY allowed to vote, yet have the common sense of a flea living off others. The dems bus these sheep into polling stations while providing meals and propaganda. How many Republicans do this? The answer is none... Welcome to the "change" the sheep voted for.:mad:
 
Please do not illustrate you may fall into the uneducated group.

Did I say the wealthy did better in school? Absolutely not! I said the 5 years where kids performed better was a school that was very heterogeneous made up of rich, middle class and poor kids.

So why do you want to take a lengthy post and summarize it in one sentence that is 100% erroneous?

And for the record the above group was probably 10% rich, 35% middle class and 55% lower class/poor.

I'm assuming you've never spent time in a classroom volunteering. And one reason the heterogeneous group likely did better was that even the poor kids there observed that quite a few kids worked hard and excelled so they emulated that behavior. Whereas in the high poverty schools most kids misbehave. That's not a generalization but based on years of observations.

Maybe re-read my prior post as it seems that you didn't comprehend what was written.

So students do better with diversity in their school. Good to know!
 
(CNSNews.com) ...“Tax Freedom Day,” and it means Americans will have worked 111 days (since Jan. 1), to pay for government.

For those of us "makers" who pay for it all.... while the parasite class parks their ass on the couch watching Oprah and Dancing With The Stars while collecting a check for doing nothing (except voting DemoCrap, or course.)

:(:mad:
 
Yeah .. I know ..... I'm full of FACTS!!! Whereas you ... can't seem to comprehend what said FACTS mean.

You're wrong I do understand your side of the argument and some of your points are valid the problem is that's all you see is your side of the argument.

Okay, explain to me WHY with Odumbocare no one needs to be responsible for their choices? Why does a slob who is 5'8" and weighs 350 getting the same rates as someone 6'2", 175, who if fit?

Why is it that every other form of insurance penalizes you for bad choices?

Let's take an example. Two years ago I was in a line of 4 cars approaching a 4 way stop in a residential neighborhood. We inched forward one car at a time. No one was at any of the other 3 stop signs. As I moved to the stop sign, hit my brakes and felt I came to a full stop out of the bushes comes a cop car. Long story short ... I get a ticket for $135 and "careless operation". Fast forward to my wife and I deciding to get another quote on car insurance. Apparently my "careless operation" slipped by the first pass and we got a great quote. Then they write back and raise my quote 40% for this issue. Bottom line it was a trivial violation yet resulted in a large increase in rates.

Now we look at health insurance. People can eat anything they desire. They can choose to be a couch potato. They can be as fat as they want. They can drink, do drugs and otherwise abuse their body. And in the end ... they do NOT pay any penalty for their poor choices and the end result is they have massively higher health care costs (that they do NOT pay for since healthy people are forced to help subsidize their premiums and they likely also get subsidies on these premiums). So those who CHOOSE to live a healthy lifestyle are actually the ones who get penalized financially. If you can't see how unfair and distorted that is I'm at a loss.

I'd rather we revert back to insurance companies being able to turn away those who make poor choices (and not those with real issues they can't prevent like cancer, etc.). And you might say who would treat the slobs who make bad choices? No one as far as I'm concerned. Because if they don't care about their own health and well being why should others, like doctors? So the rest of us would not be saddled with excessive underwriting costs, inflating our premiums and if these slobs want health care then they pay directly to doctors or clinics.

Not long ago I read an interesting article explaining how the obese save society money, in the long run, by dying earlier. I'll see if I can find it, want to review it anyway.
