I believe the amount of money spent on all levels approaches $600 Billion a year.

50% or more of all state budgets go toward public education.

[who knows what evil?]

50% or more of all state budgets go toward public education.

Here's an exerpt from a proposal currently circulating in the New Hampshire legislature...

"Therefore let it further be resolved as our first step of improving our education system is to lower the percentage of all property taxes intended for education to ZERO allowing our inhabitants to purchase their OWN education from the more REASONABLY priced private education sources in their communities (this will LOWER property taxes by 60 to 75 percent in most New Hampshire communities)..."

I would LOVE to see this incorporated into an "education bill"...
