I wouldn't mind paying this, for the greater good of the local community.

Maybe limiting the tax to families who claim children as dependents would seem more fair.

"So let me explain why I like to pay taxes for schools, even though I don't personally have a kid in school: It's because I don't like living in a country with a bunch of stupid people." - John Green

This. It seems like a small price to pay not to have half an electorate believe political rivals are child-abducting lizard people.

So brainwashed into believing one side? Why can’t we just want to make kids smarter instead of brainwashing them into being liberals?

I was agreeing with you unless you believe in lizard people.

yup you’re right, my head was melted when i read the chain last time. re-reading it now i dunno what i was thinking.

Stupid people both amuse me, and give me their money, so I don't really see a downside here.
