Yes, again. At issue this time is how much the Mecklenburg schools "need." As usual, in the mind of the Observer and Socialists around the world, the answer is ALWAYS "MORE." Today's "article", masquerading as a "question and answer" session, starts with the predictions of total chaos and the end of the world if taxpayers don't pass millions of dollars in bonds. And as usual, there's lies and there's omissions.

The very first "answer" claims that the bonds don't cost money. Seriously. The Observer actually claims that if the taxpayers of Mecklenburg borrow $600 million, they don't have to pay it back. Really. They claim it won't cost tax money to repay a loan. I wonder if the "bonds" would have more success if they were called what they are: TAXPAYER LOANS.

Of course, they claim that if the bonds don't pass, there will be "split shifts and year-round schedules." Got to scare the people into voting for the bonds. It's not a socialist/democrat election unless there's a whole lotta fear going on.

Also, they just happen to forget to mention -- the school board already has $200 million THEY HAVEN'T SPENT. In other words, they HAVE $200 million sitting around -- borrowed money on which they are ALREADY paying interest -- and they want a billion dollars more. Well gee, it's for the children, so we better support it. Otherwise the world will end.

I will mention that there is hope for Mecklenburg. Here's the hope: GET OUT! Yes, if all the productive, working citizens (who pay the taxes for these scumbags) all simply moved out of the county, they simply wouldn't have the money to pay for this crap. Otherwise, if you live and work in Mecklenburg and you're productive, your taxes WILL go up to pay to line the pockets of these Democrat bums.
