The Heartbreak of Massachusetts

Reading the Boston Globe editorial can be amusing during this post-election, pre-governing period of liberal ecstasy:

“If you're poor or middle class you're probably not getting the training you need to be a professional musician.”

The same is true for professional golfers, but our economy don’t seem to have a problem producing golfers or musicians in sufficient quantities to more than satisfy the market demand. This editorial is a lesson in why a liberal education should include both art and economics.

It is completely by the Liberal playbook that the term 'getting' is part of this story. You see, Liberals are all about entitlements; sitting on the couch waiting for the welfare check and then waiting to 'get' whatever other handouts come their way.

The obvious answer, to a Liberal, is, why, more TAXES! More to the schools to fund all that 'musical training.' Of course, we all know it means 'more to the schools in order to fund more teachers and administrators (who will then swell the ranks of the ultra-Liberal educational establishment).'

Yes, we know the code words even though you Liberals wish we didn't.
