Irish Mist, how wonderfully and utterly selfish of you. We are a country that has always believed in the value of education. It's a shared burden by all citizens. Constitutional right, I might add. It was for your education and always will be for our future children as well.
Non-sectarian private k-12 schools cost about $13,000 per student per year according to a recent Council on Private Education survey. Do you really think that a typical young family with 2 maybe 3 children could afford to spend $26-40,000 per year on K-12 education? Really?
Whose quality of life would be better? Oh yeah, yours because apparently you don't have school age children. I think, thankfully, most of the U.S. population has a more evolved view of citizenship than you.
Or is this really some perverse form of birth control you advocate. Them that can't afford to pay for their young-uns education, shouldn't have children, ayuh! Git me another beer, Marge! LOL
