Those who benefit the most should pay more for that grace.
One may not now have kids in school, but we all live in the world run and managed by those who were and who will be educated, or not!
In a world of the ill-educated, one has to do everything one's self to get it right.
Or, one has to have it redone wrong over and over.

Though I live in a Senior Living facility, the facility pays property taxes that support schools. I pay local sales taxes that goes for various things.

pay more taxes? Thatll go over well.
More from the cult of selfishness.
