Insert angered rant here

Post by sayla0079 »

Found this on a website, it really pissed me off when I found out and I hope this gets Devos booted out for this.

I mean, if the ongoing conflict of interest and everything else she did didn't lose her the job =/

True but as someone with a disability reading what she wanted to do just pissed me off too much.

Sorry, but I couldn't get beyond the second paragraph of the article, no matter how often I tried.The one where it reports how she's creating tax-rebates for "individuals and companies" who give money to private schools with a worth of $60 million, instead of giving just 30% of that same money to special-needs sports. I always burst out in laughter there and it reminds me so much of the propaganda against Marie Antoinette, you know: "What do you mean they are starving because there's no bread? Why don't they eat cake instead?". Except in this case, it's not propaganda and it baffles me how people can vote for such a sociopathic person.

This is what happens when you put someone who never went through public education in charge of it.

Betsy DeVos is a vile human being and overpoweringly stupid. She should have all her assets confiscated and be thrown in prison for a few years to see how she likes being poor.

Justice is swift nowadays. We can go right to prison time, no crime needed.

As ever, it’s not the evil that surprises me, it’s the stupidity.
