    So they want us to band together, pay taxes, and fund institutions that use labor rights and labor unions, weekends, and a 40 hour work week to fight the thing that gave us all those things ?

    Mate, sit down we need to talk.

        The mythical fence-sitter that they’ve been pandering to since the 90s so they could continue to be captured by corporate interests.

    There are roughly 32 million students from k-8th grade in the US. If you have that money for education instead, that would be almost 11k per kid. Over 200k for a class of 20 kids, which could hire like 3 more teachers per class. Or 5.5 million for a school of 500 kids. We could fund so many things and maybe give these kids an education worth having…
