    Biggest tax scams foisted on us by those in power and their buddies:

    1. All taxes are bad
    2. Private is always better than public
    3. Cutting taxes to the bone will always benefit you.

    On the other hand I’m sick of seeing funds designated for a specific use (like education) that end up being used for everything else instead.

      especially since we saw how high taxes lead to a large middle class and lowering them has been eroding it ever since.

      education is almost always the last thing heavily funded in the usa, even if its funded its very inadequate. even in middle income neighborhoods , the students are still barely passing hs with ALGEBRA, and 9th grade english skills at best. of course theres exceptions, theres always 1 or 2 near-genius intellect students in each graduating class. AI has so far degraded the learning abilities of students from an already low point of education.
