My precious Uncle Dud, a mighty, mighty man, was proud to serve on this mission during his time in the Navy.

@GregAbbott_TX Don’t use my taxes for it.

Let parents pay for private school and give them a tax rebate.

@clarionledger How will the lives of the people of Mississippi be improved by the election of any of these people?

@jacobin The welfare state was not created to benefit the average person or even the poor. The welfare state was created so the wealthy can keep their wealth.

@nhannahjones @OverUnderClover He likens himself to a storybook villain, grandstanding from the backs of hungry children. He should substitute teach in the delta.

It is less expensive to feed people than to correct the ravages of malnutrition.

@Reuters Seems to me that burning books brings more attention to the book. By nature, people love ‘the forbidden.’

In a free society, one can burn their book, flag, bra, whatever.

BUT…the moment you take mine and toss it on the burn pile, it’s on.

@28Jackson Didn’t you appoint the TX Superintendent of Education?

@Heritage @SenTedCruz TED…if he can keep the 99% fighting each other over noise, it’s easy for him and his to finish shifting the last few pennies from the middle to the top. He’ll sit on his ample end and watch the carnage, undeterred.

@BBCWorld Things must have changed since the ‘80’s., or he didn’t know to keep his drinkin’ & fightin’ down range. He chose to fight the police and then thought North Korea would be preferable to the worst case scenario: Leavenworth. Very young? Very ignorant? Very mentally ill?

@ltgrusselhonore @CenterOnColfax @LouisianaGov @LOUISIANA_DEQ @EPA @SenCleoFields @EPAMichaelRegan So nice of this Massachusetts based company to burn their waste in Louisiana. Glad it’s being squelched. If only our brothers and sisters in ‘Cancer Alley’ could catch a break.

@SenJohnKennedy I think politicians should be held responsible for cases of maternal /infant mortality, child malnutrition, truancy, child abuse/neglect cases, etc in the districts they represent when they champion laws designed to punish poor people.

[JDShellnut @LATexasBlue]

@SenJohnKennedy Get rid of Citizens United and work for American citizens instead of big donors. Then, do your job with some fair taxation of those who hoard all the wealth of our nation.

How about tax policy that rewards employers who provide good wages and benefits to their employees?

[JDShellnut @LATexasBlue]

@GregAbbott_TX You sound ridiculous! Education curriculum is decided by the state department of education. The head of that department is appointed by the TX senate. Who is in charge of the TX state senate?

[JDShellnut @LATexasBlue]

@GregAbbott_TX I wish you would get concerned about something that matters.

[JDShellnut @LATexasBlue]

@RepChipRoy @scottahodge @TaxFoundation The only protection working people have from the wealthy and powerful is the government and an attorney.

[JDShellnut @LATexasBlue]

@RepChipRoy @HouseGOP Every law that protects people from the damages that big money can do to them, you are against. At least stop taking tax money while trying to destroy the last few protections wage earners have in the US. Just work for big money directly.

[JDShellnut @LATexasBlue]

@TeaPainUSA Moms for liberty. That’s rich.

[JDShellnut @LATexasBlue]

@Stonekettle Agreed. They won’t shoot first and question later. Or knock the hell out of him. Or smash his head on the car door. He will have the best defense $ can buy.

How empty would our prisons be if everybody had the same?
