well, in the USA this is probably true, all the money would be diverted into more military spending or tax breaks for stupid filthy rich people
which is why we need tax money being spent on the communal level. not the federal level. it's the fed gov that spends it on the military, it's the municipality that spends it on schools.
The US does, for schools, which deepens social inequality.
Fair enough, LOL. Just love that it's "oh I pay TONS of taxes, but asking me to pay more in taxes won't help anything."
Also, education is locally funded. So yeah, no shit your federal taxes aren't going to go to a teacher in Queens you fucking chode
