"I think the only thing wrong with the current system is that we should simply do it more."
Why? Why pay for middle and upper class kids to go to school by taxing the working lower class?
"The United States federal government spends as much money on our military as almost the entire rest of the world put together. It is an absurd amount of money. If the U.S. took a fraction from it's military budget, there would be plenty to fund education."
But the US is constitutionally tasked with military matters. Why not just scale it back and give tax cuts to the masses?
"As long as everyone is able to receive education it is fair."
It's not fair to those taxed who do not need the benefit. This isn't an emergency service that we all agree is needed, but hopefully not needed. It's certainly not fair to people who would be taxed to educate someone who then makes much more than those who were taxed.
"If the government wants to make earlier education more efficient so that the same things aren't taught over again later because they weren't taught succesfully in the first place, then that only makes sense."

I'm all for that.
