Here's an example of an outrageous grift from the North Carolina state legislature:
"Parents for Educational Freedom" (PEFNC) gets $1M in taxpayer dollars, recurring every year as a part of the private school voucher scam, to campaign against public schools and teachers.

The reason: most rural counties have been in a permanent recession for 15 years running, and the leaders of our state legislature have mostly decided they're fine with that. 💸

This Wednesday is Tax Day across America, and North Carolina is no exception. Most people have no idea what their taxes pay for, which leads to a lot of weird ideas. So let's just break it down. 💵

Boliek invented the "Cardinal Award," and Farley invented the "Order of the Tar Heel."

This is a young North Carolina family in 1939 in front of their home near Chapel Hill.
They were sharecroppers. That home, and the land around it, weren't theirs - it belonged to their landlord. If they didn't pay the rent, and debts incurred from growing, they'd be kicked out and made homeless.
