And by the way Jim, it’s likely that all of your taxes and some paid by others go to fund your childrens education and associated costs.
We do that in this country because we believe that it’s important to do the following:
Develop a productive workforce.
Create an informed citizenry.
Provide for social mobility.
Taxes are like insurance it goes into one big pot. Some of use use more then we put in others never use it..

But you always have some who want theirs back .. crying about fairness ..

Wouldn’t want to be on sinking ship with that crowd . You have 2 choices everyone in the life boats or we are all going down with the ship

Equity dictates that there really are only 2 choices

catholic schools are way cheaper and far superior

i’d like to offer that benefit to people
who can’t afford it. you’d deny it to them and force them to stay in failing sh*thole schools

I’m pretty comfortable on my side of that argument. you want those people to stay right where they are. i want to get creative to help them out of poverty.

You care more about politics than helping them.

have fun make that wrong.
