I say the government should learn to do the basics first before they ask for more money to run my life.

That's certainly your prerogative, guy. But that's not the problem.

The problem is tax policy is a tax policy for all of us. And doing as you suggest results in either letting the infrastructure continue to decay or, in more drastic circumstances, actually cuts back on it. As we will be seeing in public education in Jersey over the next few years.

And, by the way, much of public education in Jersey is quite, quite good. Your notion about US public education now being among the worst is a vast overstatement, overgeneralizes, and under appreciates that most of it is doing quite well thank you.
