No, you weren't "answering his stupidity with the same logic"...
You were just being the same douchebag you always are when you don't like how someone responds.
The point is that everyone's children get the same educational opportunities.
If the wealthy can afford to send their kids to private prep school, that is fine, but they still have to pay for a "public" education just like everyone else...and it truly is ironic that it is the wealthiest of us doing the most whining about how "unfair" it is that they have to actually PAY for their children's private school.
You want to be able to whine about how UNFAIR it is that you have to pay for other people's kids to go to school, well, I wasn't too happy about paying to put your whiny little butt behind a desk, but I did anyway, BECAUSE THAT'S MY PATRIOTIC DUTY.
Maybe you could stop whining for just a little while and try and do yours for once?
It is a matter of national security in my opinion.
The benefits of an educated populace are too numerous to list.
