Maybe states should stop funding the government. I think they forget where their money comes from.

Tax the rich! Preschool for all! Happy to fund this program.

You aren’t offending me, but you also aren’t engaging in good faith arguments.

Then you aren’t going to fix anything and you are wasting your energy fighting with randos on the internet. Life is too short, go live your life.

If we were building a bridge and we couldn’t use it for a few years would you say why bother?

Not to mention the fact that everyone complains about homelessness, but this program will help parents keep their jobs instead of sitting out due to the extreme cost of childcare. And that is a direct benefit to all of us.

It has to happen to someone. I paid for medical leave taxes while pregnant and gave birth too early to benefit. I still feel like it is worth it to provide that benefit to society.

I pay for preschool and I pay the taxes. My kids still benefitted from the improved investment in inclusion from PFA.

I live in Portland to be part of a community and I am happy to pay taxes to do so. Programs like PFA motivate me to stay here with my tax dollars.
