Debate: Teachers Wages

[ QUOTE ]
If given the choice between paying $400 for a night out at the local arena with the kids, or paying an extra $400 taxes to upgrade the wages of the teachers of their kids (and presumably the quality of the teachers as a result), most will probably pick the sport event.

Yes, because most will see it as a choice between spending $400 on $400 worth of entertainment, vs. spending $400 on nothing.

Now, if that $400 went directly to their kid's education, suddenly things are a little different.
