And which five inches of Interstate 5 do you own? How would you like it if no one let you drive on the next five inches? Do you want us to go back to volunteer bucket brigades to put out city fires?
Your idea is ridiculous if Americans want quality education for their children; the cost has to be spread out over a larger population than just those who this minute have school-age children.
they need to work hard and pay for the education they want their children to have, and not expect others to provide them with a freebie. If you cannot afford children, don't have 'em. No one held a gun to your head. The premise behind your statement is pure socialism. Never in our history has pre-school been publicly financed, yet millions received "quality education." The idea that we now need taxpayer financed pre-school and daycare is straight out of Leninist/collectivist theory and is being pushed by the "red diaper doper baby" leftists.
As for having taxpayer-funded "education" at all, well, that's an entire other thread for some other time. Suffice to say that in general, the government schools in this country are pushing a leftist social agenda and inculcating our children with revisionist history with a radical radical femnist agenda and tolerance for abherrent lifetsyles. No taxpayer should be coerced to make contributions to pay for the propagation of what is essentially the wholesale brainwashing of generations of young people. Need I remind you of Thomas Jefferson's admonition?
To compel a man to furnish contributions of money for the propagation of opinions which he disbelieves is sinful and tyrannical. -- Thomas Jefferson
