It does not make me richer to pay for somebody else’s kid to get educated. If you disagree, you should offer to pay for other peoples’ kids to go to school yourself, and become a millionaire in the process. Win-win!
Of course it does if the alternative is they don't get educated.
I don't know how you make a living but I'd wager you, your employer or your customers, or all three require an educated workforce to survive.
How successful do you think a company that can only hire uneducated people would be?
Do you really doubt you have been made richer because of the education of Americans in general?
If you disagree, you should offer to pay for other peoples’ kids to go to school yourself...
I do, every time I pay my property and other taxes.
And I'm happy to do it even though I don't have any kids in public schools. Because I think things would go to hell if we stopped sending kids to school.
