Go to a Catholic school, OMG that's funny, better like to play with the priest and be able to take a licking from the nun. The pope was just in Canada on another sh*t we Catholics can't apologize enough tour, the most fu*ked up bunch ever.

right. never mind smaller classes, higher test scores, and no woke liberal bullsh*t. at a far lower price then what public schools spend per pupil.

the catholic K-8 school in my town has 8-10 kids per class, has insane average test scores, and charges about $5200 a year. the public schools in my town have lower test scores, triple the average class size,,and spend $14k per kid


lemme guess from the stupid and bigoted comment of yours, you went to public school. it shows.

You're assuming that salary is due to the state.Never claimed that once. I can destroy that, by saying, correctly, that huge numbers of people move from CT to cheaper states and keep their same salaries. The CT state government doesn't set median salary in the state.Never claimed that either

"And If I was a cons. the last thing I would want to discuss is any stats showing how bad the conser. states are."

Hollis and Brookline (in NH) are bad? Franklin TN is bad? The suburbs of Charlotte (like Fort Mill, SC) are bad?Never claimed they were. But as an actuary you should be looking at the credible #s (state wide), not outliers.

WDMSO posted a link that said FL had the hottest real estate price growth in the nation. That cannot happen in a bad state.

Rich people from CT who move to FL, don't turn into swamp hillbillies. The state government doesn't influence that. People decide that for themselves.

"Look at the median salaries."

My salary would stay the same. Other people's salary is their concern.Yes, exactly. Only concerned with yourself.
The cons. way. Better for you so who cares about the rest.

"Taxes are only one aspect."

True. Red states also offer cheaper college, utilities, food, gas, etc. And even if you live in a place with crappy schools (which you don't have to), you can use your tax savings to go to catholic school. Again, you ignore median salary stats. while stating I make things up. LOL

I posted a study from US News and World Report. The public high schools in Franklin TN and Hollis NH were ranked way higher than the public high school in Southington CT where I live. Way, way higher. could be. But again as an actuary you should be looking at the credible #s (state wide), not outliers (cities w/in states).

What I can get in some red states - Same exact salary, lower taxes, better schools.
Point out a few outliers in a set and claim that (or try to) is indicative of the whole set. LOL.

Yup damn good time, played on the varsity tennis, wrestling and soccer teams. The wife who went to Catholic school hated every minute and has commented many times she wished she had access to any kind of sports program. She's got some good (if you like BS and mind torture) stories, you can have your religion buddy, it's perfect for you and clearly you probably have had it drilled (hope not from behind) into you.

Catholic schools are great. If you are amongst the few who can afford them or be lucky enough to get a free ride.

and if more states had taxes like NH or FL, would that increase or decrease the number of people
who could afford them?

how about school
choice? does that increase or decrease the number of people
who could afford them?

if your blue states care so much about lifting people out of poverty, why do they oppose school choice? why forced those kids to be stuck in failing schools?

i never ever said all towns in all
red states were great. LOL. i said there are terrible places in red states. So even you will employ the tired liberal tactic of responding to something that i never came close to saying.

here’s what i said.

There are some towns in america that offer a very high quality of life with very low taxes. And from what i can tell, all of them are in red states

They may be outliers, those nice suburbs in red states, but that’s where people are moving.

Paul, if there are any beautiful suburbs in blue states that have super low taxes, can you list some please? or are all such places in red states?

If certain places can offer a high quality of life at an affordable price, isn’t it possible they are doing something right? isnt it possible they’re doing something that maybe we should replicate and expand on?

CT is also an outlier because of fairfield county. doesn’t stop you from saying the whole state is represented by the data from greenwich and westport.

How about we try to make our public schools better instead of giving some $ to people who can use that to subsidize non public schools while taking funds away from public schools. Maybe we can go back to the segregation academies that were so common in the south after Brown v BOE.

sure we can try to change/improve public schools, but teachers unions make that practically impossible. Liberals tend to think that “improve” means, spend more money. Catholic schools are concrete proof that student performance isn’t correlated with spending, especially when all the spending goes to teacher benefits that have nothing to do with student performance

Paul, i’m pretty sure i’ve heard liberals describe themselves as pro choice. why not offer the choice? if you’re pro choice, you should
support school choice.

how the heck do you go from school
choice to segregated schools? poor black people
desperately want school choice. why would they ask for crappy segregated schools? are you saying that the darkies are too stupid to know what’s best for their kids?

good lord your are a smug elitist when you want to be.

Aren't they more involved in their children's schooling than many who don't send their kids to Catholic schools?

I've visited lot of red states. Been to brentwood TN 3 - 4 times (one of Jim's favorites I believe). TN Titan games were fun. Had a great time each time.

my brother owned his own company in Litchfield CT. 15 years ago, i helped him figure out what he’d save by moving the family and the business to TN. It was over $3,000 a month in his pocket, so he moved to a spectacular Nashville suburb called Franklin. Beautiful small town to raise a family. I’m not saying I’d want to raise my kids in downtown Memphis ( nor would I want to do it in Hartford) but Franklin TN is as nice as any upper middle class suburb in CT. at nowhere near the cost. same with Hollis NH, Fort Mill SC, many other places.

Left to their own devices Red states will decimate public education
To start
Welcome to DeSantisstan where former servicemembdrs and their spouses can teach on a certificate: “She was a waitress. She starts teaching 3rd grade next week & the only thing she had to do to get this teaching certification was to observe certified teachers…she had to ask me what I meant by phonetic spelling.

Texas short 3000 teachers
Remember when y’all told all the teachers they should quit if they didn’t like the crappy pay and public hate? They took your advice..

the GOP's goal is to destroy public education and replace it with gated private schools for the elite, religious indoctrination for the middle class and child labor for the children of the poor. Loading the public schools with incompetent teachers advances that goal.

i posted that the public high schools in Hollis NH and Franklin TN were ranked much higher than the public school in the nice CT suburb where i live.

No one who lives in those places, , is worried that the state is going to ruin the public schools.

let me get this straight. The GOP, the ones who support school
choice for poor kids, secretly want to take poor kids out of school
entirely and make them
slaves?

you’re saying the gop caters to the wealthy, yet you also say the GOP is the hime to the trashy poor. which is it?

I also listed TN, jackass. is TN not a red state?

supreme theocratic court. you just don’t get it. I’ve been opposed to slaughtering babies longer than i’ve been a catholic. one isn’t connected to the other.

Abortion isn’t in the constitution. nor is privacy. therefore those are state issues, as long as states don’t decide them in ways that violate the constitution. There’s no religion whatsoever in that thought process, just a rational and honest consideration of what’s in the constitution, and what’s not in the constitution.

sticking to what’s in the constitution, is the best way to safeguard freedoms. If you’re ok with liberals bending it to fit their personal causes, then you’d better be ok with conservatives also doing the same when they are in power

Best to let us, the people, decide through our elected officials.

Problem is, the court had been liberal for 50 years and you never considered the possibility of that changing, let alone changed single handedly by someone you’re deranged with hate for.

The Supreme Court of the Theocracy decided to outlaw abortion

In his Rome speech on religious liberty, Justice Alito mocked "foreign leaders" who condemned his opinion overturning Roe v. Wade, including Boris Johnson, Macron, Trudeau, and ... Prince Harry.

Of Boris, Alito quipped: "He paid the price."

It’s clear that Alito has a lot of ego wrapped up in his authorship of the Dobbs opinion. Which underscores that it wasn’t an objective, dispassionate application of the law.

Who would have guessed?

They decided that it's a state issue. The Supreme Court didn't even come close to outlawing abortion.

The extreme right wing Supreme Court decided to throw out a decades old decision based on religious reasons.
Alito said as much in Rome.

They didn't decree that anything was illegal. Nothing.

And Ruth Bader Ginsberg had also said that the Roe decision was flawed (nothing to do with religion, just that it was a bad legal ruling). But it's OK when she says it.

There's nothing religious about wanting unelected judges to stick to their oath and abide by the constitution. That's a secular argument, not a religious one.

Samuel Alito: Top US judge mocks world leaders over abortion ruling


"I had the honour this term of writing I think the only supreme court decision in the history of that institution that has been lambasted by a whole string of foreign leaders who felt perfectly fine commenting on American law," Mr Alito said.

"One of these was Boris Johnson, but he paid the price,"

HOW so?


Referring to religious liberty, he said it was "under attack in many places because it is dangerous to those who want to hold complete power".

the old christians are being attacked for their faith MANTA :sleeps:


Yep just another example the ruling had nothing to do with Mans Law

But he ruled for God's law

religious liberty, and the question of whether abortion is in the constitution, are different.

Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito decried what he called “hostility to religion,” as he made his first public remarks since the release of his opinion overturning the constitutional right to abortion.
The hostility toward religion comes from people who are tired of having someone else’s religious beliefs forced upon them. Religious freedom is 100% protected in this country but that doesn’t mean you can legally impose it on others, though the radical SCOTUS & GOP do it anyway.
