We will have arrived at a point where we can say we have truly educated our children when we have taught them basic economics, free of the taint of politics.
That point will have arrived when we can have a discussion in our schools, and the media, about what are “fair” taxes. Until we do, we will continue to have a culture war in this country.
Even a 10-year old should know whether it is fair to have, for example, half and often more of his or her income confiscated by government.
So perhaps by the time they get to vote they will not be deceived by politicians who tell them that taxes must be fair by “soaking the rich", that is, anyone who happens to earn more than they do.
