>The United States is one of the biggest spenders in the world on K-12 education. How much more money do you want to spend on a broken system?
Certainly spending less won't fix it.
>The unions get much better pensions than the rest of us. And their political machines own the state capitals. How much higher should they go?
Extend those rights to non unionized workers.
>The United States spends far more money per person on health care than other countries. How much more do you want to spend?
I want to spend less by having universal public healthcare.
>This year, the top capital gains tax rate in California went up 52%. That's a substantial bite on innovation to ensure public workers get gold-plated defined-benefit pensions.
Capital tax gains mostly affect more affluent households. I'm willing to bet that even with this rate, taxation is regressive in the US.
