    So, expensive for me who is already completely priced out of ever responsibly having children. We all have a responsibility to the future generations so I’d still vote for it. But oof. It is a tough sell to place even more tax burden on people who will never realize the benefits.

    It’s not a sell for the people who will have children. It’s a sell for the children who will grow up under that education and have their job prospects determined by it. Hey - weren’t you once a child?

      I’m already on board. But I consider myself pretty strongly pro-education. I’m thinking about how to get my short-sighted countrymen on board so that we can see some real change. Education has been underfunded for the entire duration of my lifetime and I’d really like to see it improved. Unfortunately, most people don’t think the way we do and have been ignoring these arguments for decades. If they’ve already made up their mind I figure we should give them a new proposal is all. At this point I’m willing to try anything.
