And are you really that short-sighted that you don't see how having an educated population makes for a prosperous country? I don't know if you've noticed, but educated people tend to do pretty well in life compared to those without.....well enough to make money, drive the economy, and in turn, give back more than their share of taxes.
My beef is with the Federal government controlling it. The Fed needs to meddle less in State affairs and simply do what the Constitution directed them to do. A smaller Fed with a taxation level reflective of the small size of that government would do wonders for the economy.
