Florida Living 2011
Hillsborough County Parents Plead For After-School Programs"The neighborhoods we live in, they're like prisons, you keep cutting from the people who are hurting the most — the little people, you're hurting us even more."......Robert Herman, blue-collar worker with four children who has been unemployed two years.
Our wars, that the right-wing started, is costing us $1.6B a year. FedEx at TIA hasn't paid county property taxes for over 10 years. Those back taxes could help pay for After-School Programs.

Jeff Lukens Tea Party Summer Camp
Introduce kids ages 8 to 12 to principles that include "America is good," "I believe in God," and "I work hard for what I have and I will share it with who I want to. Government cannot force me to be charitable."here
Fun, Fun, Fun.
Children will win hard, wrapped candies to use as currency for a store, symbolizing the gold standard. On the second day, the "banker" will issue paper money instead. Over time, students will realize their paper money buys less and less, while the candies retain their value.
Another example: Starting in an austere room where they are made to sit quietly, symbolizing Europe, the children will pass through an obstacle course to arrive at a brightly decorated party room (the New World).
Still another example: Children will blow bubbles from a single container of soapy solution, and then pop each other's bubbles with squirt guns in an arrangement that mimics socialism. They are to count how many bubbles they pop. Then they will work with individual bottles of solution and pop their own bubbles.
