Maybe this is just framing, Buck, and we’re all being too hard on you. Maybe what you’re saying is actually a call for robust infrastructure spending— something like getting everyone in the US on high-speed internet. You want everyone to have schools of equal quality— the problem with school spending in the US is it’s too concentrated in local taxes. This may shock you, but some classrooms are working with outdated textbooks because they can’t afford new ones, while other ones, in richer areas, have state of the art computer labs. Maybe what you’re saying is everyone deserves to attend the same classroom, that everyone should start from the same position.

Maybe you’re expressing an ideal, and claiming that’s actually the way it is now.
