I believe the simplest and most effective method of oppression is the failure to fund public programs. Even as the economy grows, our legislature reallocates money to benefit the wealthiest in the state.

Perhaps the strongest example of this is the fact that, as we face the cataclysmic reality of toxic dust storms blowing off the exposed lake bed, the amount the state has committed to saving the lake pales in comparison to what they have committed to building stadiums for billionaire professional sports owners.
