[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Don't worry- I get it. I don't agree with it. I have a child who is eligible for the benefit. Just give me what the government would have paid for him. It is simple and can be done- it is just the stupid belief that the DC government can do a better job of raising my kid than I can. [/quote]

I drive very little. Yet I pay taxes for roads. I'd like most of that money back, please, thank you. I have other things I'd like to spend it on.[/quote]

Yet you do use roads even though you don't drive- right? Or do you stay inside your house and have nothing delivered to your house using roads? Not the same argument at all.[/quote]

Yet you depend on people's ability to read even though you don't send your kid to public pre-K, right? Or do you live self-sufficiently on an independent island?

Roads benefit society (including you and me). Public schools benefit society (including you and me). Therefore, society (including you and me) pays for roads and public schools, even if I don't personally use the roads and your kid doesn't personally use the public schools.[/quote]
