The article Education Funding: Fallow the Money is a good argument. It helps you understand what some of our taxes that we pay are going toward, and how they aren't going towards the things we may want them to, such as education. They talk about TEF and how that plays a role in how the schools are funded. According to the text on average Americans pay twelve dollars for every one hundred dollars they make, but if they make $1 million annually they only pay five dollars for every hundred dollars. It goes on to say how this isn't fair because if you make more money you should have to pay more in taxes not less. It goes on to tell you how your taxes are used and how most of them should be going to the schools but they arent. This is a great article to read and get information about how are taxes are, and what they are going toward.
