You can't fix stupid, part 1

Comedian Ron White says "You can't fix stupid."

Here's part 1.

9/11, it was reported that the school board of Hudson Ohio (near Akron) chose to grant corporate welfare ... I mean, tax abatements ... for a "local" business.

(Akron Beacon Journal/Ohio.com) http://www.ohio.com/news/local/hudson-schools-agree-to-tax-break-for-internet-company-1.333768

Today, it was reported on Ohio.com that the same school board was going to go back to the voters to "renew" the levy ON THE HOMEOWNERS/TAXPAYERS to pay for the school.

Ohio.com linked to here: http://hudson.ohio.com/board-begins-initiative-on-issue-64-passes-resolution-on-technology-1.336977

Maybe they should have put the "tax abatement" issue to the voters ...

It's called school.

Ron White on the other hand probably can't. He's a little (s)lower than stupid though.

Ignorance can be fixed ... stupid kills.

Stupidity is choosing to remain ignorant.

to open their eyes and no longer want to remain ignorant.

Stupid can be fixed. Saying it can't is..... stupid.

Edit to add: Ron White is an ignorant right wing asshole.
