Time for Choosing

So is this the direction North Carolina wants? More restrictions on voting and on women’s health care – and fewer on trash-hauling, landfills and fracking? Less help for people out of work, less health care for the sickest and poorest – and more tax cuts for people on top of the pile?
Most of all, more money for private schools – and the promise of much more to come – and less for teachers, teachers assistants and early childhood?
One veteran observer asked: “How long will it take before these new Republicans get home and discover that a lot of teachers, teacher assistants and school employees, not to mention school board members, are Republicans?”
What will happen in corporate America? “Let’s get on down to North Carolina: They’re cutting taxes and throwing out regulations left and right”? Or: “Move us and our families to a women-bashing, gay-bashing, minority-suppressing, education-slashing state where people are screaming at each other and getting arrested over it all? No thanks.”
And, above all, more guns everywhere?
Here we go.
