The Anti-Spirit of Christmas

I'd like to see public schools offer free breakfast and lunch to all students. The return on investment would be enormous. Ditto all early childhood medical care and vaccinations (coordinated by schools--who else?).We spend billions later because we fail so many children when we could do the most good.

I'm not sure why "you people" leap to the conclusion that anyone who bitches on social media about policies or policy failures has spent their moral impetus and does nothing else. It's a straw man argument, at best, and irrelevant in any case. It fails the Universal Test: you can throw it at anyone, regardless of fact or circumstance. That's an insult, not an argument.Also, social media-driven outrage can be socially powerful. I don't why you dismiss it as self-indulgently useless.Since most school districts receive the majority of their funding from local property taxes, your solution effectively reduces funding to the school.The problem arises because of the economic inequality created by high level policies. It won't be solved by draining school coffers with tax breaks.
