[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The public schools your kids attend are socialism.  [/quote]

Wrong.  Again.[/quote]

Not PP but yes, public schools are socialist institutions.  Everyone pays in taxes based on income (whether you have a child in school or not).  The children all get equal educations regardless of what their parents paid in taxes.  [/quote]

Most schools are funded by property taxes, not income taxes. 
For people who don’t have kids in public schools, it is a unfair tax for services not used.   
In Arkington 20% of the households have kids in public schools but at least 40% of the County budget goes to public schools. I wouldn’t mind if the kids were educated, but based on those I have interviewed for placement at my alma mater educated, they are lacking. 
To me that is socialism. It is good enough [/quote]

I knew someone who shrieked about single mothers on welfare while she was sending four kids to public school while paying property taxes of around $6000 a year.[/quote]
