I’m proud to pay my way while refusing to believe the only people who can have multiple children live in housing projects and or are featured on “Feed the Children” commercials. Public education IS welfare for those who don’t pay for it; they get their pound of flesh from me. We are “beholden to none”.

Be good.

Thanks for understanding that this is an abstract discussion rather than a personal one. I do respect the fact that you're doing the best you can.

Last note, I promise, and I'll leave ya alone. :) You pay $6k in school tax. Cost of educating one school child, typically, is around twice that.

Presuming you had just one child, you'd be getting subsidized to the tune of around 50 percent of the cost to taxpayers. It's welfare hidden in plain sight.

Be good -- and keep alerting the kids to the perils of progressive-liberal-socialist practices. A little anti-venom is better than no anti-venom!
