EDIT: A lot of you are reading into the tweet while still somehow agreeing with the overall message. No one is saying we should eliminate music programs or that we should teach toddlers about healthcare plans. The tweet is making this thing called a --checks notes-- joke, that also conveys the message that schools could teach more practical skills that young adults will need going forward.

    I think the bigger issue is that too many of the non-poor are willing to vote against their own interests. Europeans don’t hate paying taxes, but they want it to be simple. Americans hate paying taxes, and too many of them can be conned into thinking that it’s bad if the government makes it easier.
