Look around at the current US, no one is paying for "education"
Although I know your just a sock jock I would say money being wasted on education isn't your biggest concern. You should ask yourself why should you be paying for the vacations of politicians that don't earn what they make anyway. Like here in California our do nothing legislature that has helped get the state in-debt and who most people have lost confidence in has just voted themselves a pay raise because apparently they feel like they are doing such a good job they deserve to help themselves to more tax payer money.
