SQ 744 Funding and Democrat Trickery

The Democrats in this state are trying to rally support for SQ 744. If you are unsure of what SQ 744 is, it is a state question concerning education funding. A ‘Yes’ vote means that our public education system will be required to equal the amounts of state funding for education in the neighboring states.

This seems like a good plan, a good way to ensure our children receive quality education, but there is just a tiny little question we should be asking ourselves as we consider SQ 744: Where does the money come from?

There is no, I repeat there is NO, language in the bill that concerns where the funds would come from. As we were all told as children, money doesn’t just grow on trees. It is foolish to support a bill without first knowing how it will be funded, just as foolish as the Democrats in the House and Senate voting for Obamacare without knowing what was in that bill. At least the former provided from where the funding will come. SQ 744 just leaves the question unanswered, hoping we are blinded by ads about how our children will fall farther behind without passing SQ 744.

This is what those across the aisle are hoping. They are hoping that we will be blinded by ads making us feel guilty about the possibility of voting no.

But that’s not all.

The Democrats are also planning to take advantage of the Yes on 744 campaign for their own political and financial advantage. In a recent email sent out to registered Democrats, the author stated:

“I think you will agree, we need every available resource to win our races on Election Day. The Yes on 744 campaign, the coalition of groups working to pass SQ 744, has the resources to run a powerful statewide campaign. I have already seen them in my neighborhood knocking on doors. You might have also noticed that they are already on TV with a commercial. “

Doesn’t that stir feelings of reproach inside you? It certainly does for me. They want to use a group that is not connected to them for their own desires. There does not seem to be any hesitation or remorse in that, just use a group to ensure that your candidates are elected and I mean use as in how the Democrats use fear tactics concerning Social Security to get votes.

So, when you see a Democrat candidate running campaigns ads, wonder where that money came from? Who did they take advantage of this time? Show this to your Democrat friends as an example of why they should become Republicans and kick the Dems out.

Also wonder, if SQ 744 is passed, where exactly will the money come from? It cannot come from nothing, so it must come from somewhere. That somewhere may be raising our taxes to a rate that forces some to move to neighboring states.
