It isn ' t really a great comparison because the US funds most of its education locally based on local property taxes instead of a federally funded nationalized system . It ' s the main reason the quality of education can vary wildly from county to county . If you counted all that local tax money it would be billions more . <| sep |> This is completely ineffective and will not result in anything . Stein is desperately trying to stay relevant . What do you think her run for the election was ? She knew she could never win . It was just a pathetic ploy to get attention . I used to like this woman , but she ' s a fucking pathetic nutcase wackjob and she ' ll never change anything . She ' s not the type of person we need for anything .
