>Sam, I'm not sure what education level you've achieved, but I'll break >it down for you. In the above sentence, 'them' is a pronoun. The >tricky thing with pronouns is that you've got to read them in context >(that's the sentences surrounding it) to know exactly what the pronoun >refers to. Now, in this sentence above, it's referring to old school >republicans who believe in a certain economic philosophy; not the >whole country. >
Wow, personal attacks as a defense, sad. The preceding sentence was: For over two decades, he's subscribed to that old, discredited Republican philosophy - give more and more to those with the most and hope that prosperity trickles down to everyone else. In Washington, they call this the Ownership Society, but what it really means is - you're on your own. Out of work? Tough luck. No health care? The market will fix it. Born into poverty? Pull yourself up by your own bootstraps - even if you don't have boots. You're on your own. Well it's time for them to own their failure. So America today, as he just explained, is a FAILURE because of THEM and HE's going to magically fix it by sticking it to the ones with the most. > > From Time.com: > >S.

He emphasized that those are important programs. So she went to school and left him with the wealthy grandparents who in turn sent him to the best schools. >sorry, my faux pax...he wants to provide every child a world-class >education. I personally know of one school right by me that does not. Didn't he also say American schools were the envy of the world? >I don't know if we have that right now....I know my state colleges >around here have raised their tuition quite a bit. I used to be able >to pay for my own college with a part time job in 88. By, 92, the >tuition had gone up enough that I had to get loans. Yes we still have scholarships, financial aid, grants and student loans. >come outside the box sam.....don't you think that they could specify >what the money could be used for?
