Kasich: Still Defending the Rich

* When have you ever heard a candidate say the following:


"...we need to break the back of organized labor in the schools..."

Actually, John Kasich, said it when he appeared in Ashtabula, Ohio, according to the Star Beacon.

Here is another statement from Kasich as stated in the Star Beacon:

...Eliminate the state’s death tax. Kasich said the tax punishes the rich and is driving them and their capital to other states....

Boo hoo.  Take out the kleenex and weep for the rich.

Why does Kasich hate public school teachers and regular, average hardworking Ohioans?  I guess if you are rich, you'll get Kasich's attention. (The other reason that Kasich's rich friends are fleeing Ohio is because his running mate, Mary Taylor, advised them to leave the state. (see Dispatch Politics)

Here is a perfect Kasich bumper sticker:
