REX WANTS TO TEACH KIDS ABOUT FINANCIAL RESPONSIBILITY… USING TAX CODE
South Carolina Schools Superintendent Jim Rex and his bureaucratic machine have decided to team up with the Financial Literacy Board of Trustees to teach students the importance of financial responsibility… by using tax forms as their Bible.

Is that seriously what our children should aim for, a world where financial wisdom is the ability to understand a bunch of bureaucratic tax forms? No wonder Rex has been a complete and utter failure.

Too busy pushing their kids’ Girl Scout cookies? No really — what ARE they doing?
