[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]And is that what we want for our kids?  Hey, [b]at least our school system is not as bad as DC.  Or WV?  [/b]

That’s setting the bar pretty low, don’t you think?

And in that case, I want to see my taxes go down so a I can use that money to pay for private school instead.[/quote]

Nobody is saying that.

And no, your taxes aren't going down so that you can use that money to pay for private school instead. If you want to live in a low-tax state, try Kansas. How are the public schools in Kansas, these days?[/quote]

Really? We're supposed to be satisfied because things aren't as bad as they could be? Do you apply that broadly? Do you say "oh well, I got crappy medical care at that doctor's office, but hey -- our healthcare system is better than what they have in Somalia, so I'm not going to complain."[/quote]

I think that there is a meaningful distinction between "Our schools could be better, but they could also be worse" and "Our schools aren't the worst ever anywhere, so nobody is allowed to complain."[/quote]
