I agree that everyone who wants an education should have the opportunity to get one. The problem is who pays for the school building and the teachers? I certainly hope you are not pulling a Lessans and saying the money will just be there somehow? |
It is common for the government to levy things called taxes, that is government officials or employees will actually collect monies from the citizens. This money can then be used to pay for things like armies, roads, health care, education. Why, now that I think on it, I suppose the breadth of things that the government can spend money on to ensure its citizens have a good life is quite large.
