This quote is aimed at all those state legislators and governors who have gutted their education budget in order to pay for reducing taxes.
monday quote: (T)he tax which will be paid for this purpose is not more than the thousandth part of what will be paid to kings, priests and nobles who will rise up among us if we leave the people in ignorance. (Thomas Jefferson, 1743-1826, principal author of the Declaration of Independence and 3rd President of the United States, in a speech supporting the creation of a federal tax to fund universal public education.)
