Or (novel thought) actually think & plan ahead, so you only have kids that you can reasonably provide for.lowing wrote:

So what if mommy and daddy pays for their kids education. Are you actually trying to argue that those same parents should pay for a total strangers education as well?
Ya see, when you work and build wealth you can afford to pay for your kids education. Pretty much one of the reason people work, to provide for THEIR family, not yours.
Time spent with children, money to take care of them properly (food, clothing, bedrooms in house), income set aside for college funds, etc etc.
Kids are expensive. If you can't afford more, don't have more.
It is insanely selfish to demand your neighbors pay for your crotchfruit.
To be a smartass about it;
If I don't get to fuck your wife, why the hell do I have to pay for your kids?
A reasonable level of taxation for schools would be based on the national average for number of children in a household.
If the national average is, for example, 2.2 kids per household - then the government should provide tax funding for schooling up to 2 (perhaps 3) kids per household.
Any further children, and the parents would be expected to provide the funding for their education (pre-school through college).
The current tax code (US) gives a tax break for each dependent in the household.
This is an obsolete legacy from the (ancient history) days when children were a source of labor (and thus income) for families.
Farms, family stores, family restaurants, etc.
Today, a child in the US is NOT a source of income - they are an expense that must be met for at least 18-22 years (or more).
Your failure to plan for the care and maintenance of your children shouldn't become the problem of those with better life planning skills.
