Never heard of this before!

The government NOT letting taxes be raised in a wealthy county even if citizens want it!

I also like the last part, my bold.

"Judge rules against Kan. parents in education suit

...

The local option tax allows school districts to raise additional money beyond what the state provides. It's capped so wealthy districts don't have an unfair advantage over poorer ones, and Shawnee Mission — one of the wealthiest districts in Kansas — has reached the maximum amount the state allows it to spend.

Opponents of removing the cap argued that doing so would undermine the state's school funding formula, and Lungstrum agreed. His ruling was on the question of whether the local option cap was severable from the school funding scheme. The judge noted that he wasn't ruling "on the question of whether there is a rational basis" for the local option cap."

So, here we have the ultimate in liberal "butthead" ideology...in Kansas, no school can be better than the worst school in the state.

We must all be equal to the lowest standard. I am going to start driving my tractor-trailer like the poorest driver on the road so that we are all equal.
