Vermont is a state with an opioid epidemic, homelessness and housing crises, gun violence in once peaceful towns, and a lack of employees. We cannot legislate or tax our way out of all the difficulties confronting Vermont that have been neglected and ignored.
The state will then automatically deduct 5 percent of said employees’ paychecks (increasing to 8 percent over time), putting the money into that account — without the employees’ consent!
At the statehouse this past session, a majority of Vermont legislators took a brazen, controversial and unconstitutional step away from representative government towards technocracy — defined as rule based on an elite of “technical experts.”
It seems that the only solution we hear much about for the homeless, most of whom have mental health or drug abuse issues, is a stay at a hotel, bus tickets out of town or a prison cell. That’s what happens when you tear down institutions.
If the Green Mountain Care Board can’t squeeze some accountability from OneCare Vermont’s rather exhibitionist squandering of public funds, perhaps all of Vermont government has become a failed model.
As much as our representatives tell us that this childcare legislation is to help the struggling, working families, clearly a motivator is to divide families by indoctrinating and grooming our most impressionable children – the preschoolers.

A further examination of the trans-science of so-called “gender inclusive biology” in Vermont schools reveals that it stretches mighty far without any persuasive sense. Examples abound of how foolish this theory is when it collides with logic.
The Left’s Paper of Record, the New York Times, has published an extensive report on SARS-CoV2 in which they explain how it was a byproduct of bio-engineering research at the Wuhan Lab in China.

Despite the profound ignorance of AOC’s cow claims, the attacks on cows have morphed into a sustained, widespread attack on gentle bovines. Humans have more to fear from this perverse ideological initiative than they may realize.
The tide appears to be turning against radical gender ideology in a big way. Just this Saturday, a transgender cyclist won a North Carolina race by more than five minutes. Retired tennis star Martina Navratilova said of the result: “What a joke.”
