And as part of that “free” offer (not really free as they’re still charging a buck for each magazine), you’re enrolled in a subscription for “Kids Guide” as $20.90 (apparently a monthly subscription) _and_ a subscription for “EverBright Kids” magazine for $5.75 monthly. So you’re agreeing to almost 27 bucks in ongoing subscriptions. All for a “gift bundle”. In short, their way of fighting socialism is sneaky capitalism. ---

A bunch of brainwashed kids who think affordable health care, affordable education and regulations on business are bad? I wonder how many of those kids will maintain those views into adulthood. I have no idea. ---

The OP could have saved us some reading time by starting out with “Mike Huckabee.” ---

What? Mike Hucksterabee coming up with yet another scam to separate the rubes from their rubles? Is it Monday again? ---

By itself it wouldn’t do squat, however if a kid is subject to that influence from their parents/teachers etc. it’s just another nail in the coffin. ---

I was more referring to getting scammed into a $27 a month subscription.
