I didn't think so. I had a feeling my comment could be construed that way, and I almost clarified what I meant -- should have done that -- but I ended up not. I honestly don't have strong or thoroughly formulated opinions about how education should be taxed. I definitely see the merit behind the arguments that someone without kids in the school system should pay less, the same, and more taxes than someone with. My only adamant conviction about this is just that education should be paid for through universal taxes *somehow*.
