We Don't Need No Yellowbelly Parcel Tax! Schools & Kids, posted by Buford, a resident of the Birdland neighborhood, on Apr 27, 2009 at 10:25 am
I've had it with people in this town putting spoiled kids before true American anti-tax values! Sorry, but why should I pay some liberal parcel taxes for the spoiled, latte-drinking, sushi-eating, Volvo-driving, New York Times-reading, body-piercing, Hollywood-loving, students of our district. What these kids need is an education in pulling up their bootstraps at the Richard Pombo Ranch. So what if they don’t get into some fancy college, the Bible is the only book they need to learn about anyway. I didn’t have no fancy programs at my school in Amarillo, Texas when I was growing up, but still learned to trust my gut and fight for the dream we call America. Look people, GW Bush came from a poor Texas family with little education and he became the greatest leader this land has ever seen, so maybe these tax loving students should follow his lead.

What's a "Volvo" and who is this "GW Bush" that Buford speaks of?

Hmmm.....maybe its time to rethink that parcel tax after all......though I don't think it should require $18m to educate students about the proper use of your and you're.

The sad part is that the pro-parcel-tax people really believe that it's rednecks like "Buford" that are the bulk of the anti-parcel-tax people.

Ignore those misleading opinions from the anti-G, anti-children, and anti-community crowd.
We need to stay focus on our commitment to save our schools, our children, and our community.
Our teachers and PUSD management are making personal sacrifice to help our children and our community via voluntary pay cut.
We, as a community, should be proud of this level of commitment toward education. Our children, our future leaders, depend on our commitment to pass this parcel tax.

BM (Beast Mode / Bowel Movement),
You said, "Your insane... I drive an audi"
You really should hit the books, Honey, you can't even spell "you're"...let me be your tutor, you poor uneducated thing...
"You're" is a contraction of the two words You & Are. Other examples of contractions include doesn't, they're, and can't. Here is an example that specifically applies to you:
"You're a terrible speller." (A contraction for "YOU ARE a terrible speller.")
"Your" is the possessive form of you, referring to something that a person has, or something that belongs to the person in discussion (or, the person you are talking to).
Here is another example that specifically applies to you:
"Your mind is simple."
I hope this brief tutorial has helped you understand before you drive in your Audi(not audi).
You also need basic punctuation help, but we'll save that for our next session!
Once again, thank you for contributing just as much as a dead bug on a windshield to this thread.
By the way, was your Daddy too busy for you today?
Maybe you can try and catch his attention this evening instead of searching for adult attention on this website.

Thanks Community of Character for your sarcastic approach to help us see the simple minded approach of the parcel tax proponents. You are hilarious and are gifted at pointing out how ludicrous their statements are in your witty writing!
Thank you for pointing out the flaws in their emotional and lack of thought arguments. It is so refreshing to have this support!
Can't wait to celebrate the defeat of G with YOU, CC, on June 3, so we can really educate our children on how to properly fund education with principles, not ridiculous threats from irresponsible district management and indulgent parents without standards!
Again, thank you Community of Character for calling these ridiculous supporters of G onto the carpet with your insightful sarcasm!

Every night I wake up in a cold sweat from my nightmares about paying taxes. Last night I dreamed I couldn’t buy a new Ford F-350 pickup truck because they taxed me so much! How dare Big Government haunt my dreams! Just like my daddy used to say “Taxes are the devil” and “Jesus hated taxes”.

Parent of Two,
What is wrong with being a redneck?!! We rednecks made up the bulk of the people at the Pleasanton Tea Party! We were the guys with the large guts in the pictures. We are the backbone of the anti-tax movement, so don't throw us under the bridge. God bless TEXAS!!!!!

Its still entertaining. Some posts are sarcastic, some are satirical, and some are actually serious and nobody knows which is which. This is sometimes better than Seinfeld re-runs.

Gotta love you 'tolerant' liberals posting here *LMAO*
Because the teachers union REFUSED to make any concessions and live within their means they are now expecting YOU to pick up the tab even though the salaries of the teachers in this district are some of the highest in the entire U.S.
This level of debt is not sustainable and you will continue to vote to nickle and dime yourself to death.

Teachers are already living on minimum wage, considering the level of education they attained. They live well within their means. We should do everything we can as a community to help our teachers.
Support our children's education, our schools, and our community.
