What business is it of mine what someone else leaves for their children?

As for better schooling, that happens right here at my kitchen table each night when I help the kids with their homework.

I might believe financial backing to be relevant had I not met so many people who came from nothing to be wealthy.

Ah, the conservative virtue of utter selfishness, masked as "personal responsibility".

And even more people would be able to come from nothing to be wealthy if we were to increase financial backing, something that would benefit the nation not only morally, but also economically. Why make it as difficult as possible for inspiring innovators and future leaders?
