How much more tax would you be willing to pay so we could have police in every school in the USA?

Aren't the same folks who're always complaining about high taxes the same ones who want a cop in every school? Who do they think is gonna hire -- train -- outfit -- give medical care and a retirement package to -- these cops, if not them? If you are willing to pay more, give a percent e.g. 3 percent more in state, 1 percent more in local etc.

    Feed them cake and give them 5.00 an hr that will make the rich happy. The rich want protection to keep all the money they have. The rich do not want to give up anything and pay nothing for that protection. Now comes the twist, if you are rich you do not want government it cost money. The same people want no tax, no government, no probate, and protection so that no one will take their money. It is the middle class that wants all of the protection at public schools.

    Pro are safety for middle class children. The poor have no guns

    Cons are it cost something it would make a few jobs. The shooters would have practice and could go after private schools now that they have the guards, random gun owners.

    It is a sad day when children are the targets.

    If we weren't wasting so much of the Tax Dollars that are already being paid into the Federal Government, we could AFFORD better Security and Defense Training in Schools.

    It's not a Percentage that we need to Increase Taxation, it's the Amount we should Reduce Spending on so many un-needed, wasteful, fraudulent programs.

    If we'd clean up what we are already spending, we could spend on More Important Issues, like, security for our children, mental health assistance, a more comprehensive data base to identify people with Mental Illness that should not be allowed access to weapons or children.

    But, for all the Waste we are already spending on, and for all the Political Correctness and concern for the "Rights" of people that are potentially dangerous to others, we continue to have occurrences like we have seen recently.

    As we go further Left as a Nation, we stray further and further from personal responsibility. We take away a Parent's Rights to control their kids, in the name of the kids' Rights, then, when the kid does something wrong, we wonder why?

    We no longer hold parents Accountable for their children's actions. We no longer have stiff enough repercussions on Parents that do not get a child the "Help" they need.

    We allow things like this to happen.

    Your first actual undeniable fact that slashing the education cost variety could degrade academic effects is previous laughable. the subject isn't inadequate money, it extremely is an entrenched public provider union that refuses to anticipate instructors to show. mom and dad are outraged, around the spectrum, on the ineptitude of instructors. i'm able to restoration education with some uncomplicated steps: - get rid of unions - get rid of tenure - Expel any student this is disruptive - coach in English purely - hearth ineffective instructors - positioned all scholars into uniforms - concentration on math, technological know-how, language in 80% of all training - get rid of GLBT, eco-dopes, and different distracting impacts from faculties - decrease 50% of the admin team of all college districts - decrease all staffing and education of grossly disabled scholars - circulate the terrific and brightest into small classification sizes and supply them the main supplies - circulate the worst and least inspired into janitorial and quickly foodstuff education seeing this is their destiny.

    Its not about teaching respect. We have left God behind and things start to fall apart. Then we look for some far, distant thing in the future to change all this violence. When in reality we have left God in the past. And than we wonder why all this happens.

    None we do not need more government we need less. We do not need more police we need the right to defend ourselves and yes that means being armed. Only you can prevent your own death in those cases.
