Are you a socialist? Because I pay for the services I recieve. In your country, is everything "free". Sort of one for all and all for one kind of thing?

Quite the opposite, actually. I have never stated, nor have I even implied that education should be 'free'. Historically speaking, people who receive 'entitlements' never appreciate them. I paid for my education myself, this meant delivering Pizza, stocking shelves and running my own business while going to college full time. However, I also know that if the college I attended were not funded in part by taxdollars, only the extremely wealthy could even contemplate sending their children to school. It would be nearly impossible for any person to fully fund their own education.

That is why I have never objected to paying school taxes, even while I was single. The school taxes go towards education, the education will create bright minds, who will someday return the investments made in them.

Thats all fine but a far cry from your previous claims of benevolence graced on me by you.

But you do object to paying taxes to to bright minds who choose to study Theology simply because it is religious in nature, not tied to a specific religion mind you, simply religious in nature.

The problem is that the First Amendment guarantees that religion, in general ie:Theology, is protected and can not be discriminated against. Washington is discriminating against the study of only religion and you support it.

And you can't square that circle no matter how many pizzas you delivered.
