And by the way Jim, it’s likely that all of your taxes and some paid by others go to fund your childrens education and associated costs.
We do that in this country because we believe that it’s important to do the following:
Develop a productive workforce.
Create an informed citizenry.
Provide for social mobility.

social mobility, eh?
Is social mobility helped, or is it hindered, if more children are in good schools, and fewer children are in lousy schools?’
My town spends $15k to educate each kid. If you give me $2k of that to help me pay for catholic school, the town keeps the other $13k and now has one fewer kid to spend it on. so more spent per kid. That’s good for the kids who stay in public school.
It’s win win. Except for teachers unions, which is the only key reason democrats oppose it.
