If anything, people without kids shouldn't have to pay for school for kids - pass it on to the parents - same as single guys shouldn't pay less for health insurance because they'll never get pregnant. <br /><br />Aside from that, you don't seem to provide any solution to the education issue. It's extremely important as educated kids don't usually turn out to be scumsucking losers and criminals - at least they have a CHANCE to do well in life. And I really don't mind paying taxes for education as long as it's not wasted - kind of like insurance for the good of the nation (so kids can get a job and not turn into punks who might rip off my car tires...).Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06567656386018712034noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5737363348560792808.post-23213203286503087002011-01-26T22:27:23.705-05:002011-01-26T22:27:23.705-05:00I guess humans were born too stupid to make their ...I guess humans were born too stupid to make their own wise choices, yet somehow maintain the uncanny ability to choose wise central planners to make wise choices for them.

After all, if you have to force people, at the barrel of a gun, to do something, maybe they really know better than you do. If it were good they would do it without coercion, right?Kent McManigalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05005964583189815410noreply@blogger.com
