I don't think that's particularly fair. We all pay into the basic social programs. I don't have children but I'm still paying into the public system and I don't believe I'm being unfairly taxed. To be able to afford to pay into the private school is a luxury.



So if you have smart kid but don't have money you won't be able to help him. Poor will be always poor :(


Plenty of help to send poor kids to collage, masters, and then PHD. It’s just spending public money early on that’s at issue.


That is always the struggle, isn't it? You're granted a certain level of education/health care/security/fire services/road maintenance via taxes, but in order to get services in addition to that you need to spend your own money.
