The trick is that the legislature stopped funding as much from the general fund. The result is the same but the gyrations should have been expected and obvious. Funding education was just an excuse to institute a lotter, a tax on fools they say. The money which would have gone into the active economy, buying and selling, now goes through the government first and is redirected according to political motives. Same old same old.

Time and again, year after year, our state government has served the interests and benefit of the corporations of this state to the detriment of the citizens of the state and in violation of their designated purpose. Many of them, seemingly the majority of them, don't "believe" in public education and don't want to contribute to it's funding. They don't "believe" in aiding the poor and they don't want to contribute to their health care. They don't "believe" in regulating business, or in taxing businesses. They "believe" in "market forces" even though we can all see very clearly that just ain't working out for any but the very few. The Florida lottery was promoted on the notion that it would fund education, and how long did it take them to direct most of that money to the general fund so they didn't have to take their due responsibility and tell the public the truth about taxes...if you want fresh water, municipal sewer systems, highways, and all those wonderful things we have to raise the money to do so. They did the same thing with the tobacco settlement money which was to be used to provide health care to those whose health was damaged from smoking, they put that money in the general fund. Now, let's see what they do with the Race to the TOP money. I fully support the efforts of this group of concerned citizens and parents.
