Hey Delia, school is one of those common expenses that benefits everyone: despite the large number of unionized parasites that cling to the system (a different issue), schools educate a workforce needed so we have educated people as cops, nurses, lawyers, voters, machinists, soldiers, musicians, etc. Everyone benefits from that. You too. (How from musicians you may ask? Well, sale of American music abroad that is one of the few sources of sales left to hold down the balance of payments. How from lawyers? Aside from the social benefit, they bring in fees from clients outside the US–one of the few jobs not completely outsourced). Everybody benefits from schools. They could be run a lot better, but again, a different issue.
Lets face it though: with income, cell phone, car, sales, gas, etc taxes, and public money flowing out to all manner of panhandlers, professors like Ward Churchill, 6 men union crews to do 2 men jobs and more, we’re all begining to feel like productive workers on a collective farm….
