I just read the ballot information for Prop. 82, which would institute voluntary universal preschool for 4 year olds in California by taxing the very rich (those who make over $400K per person). My initial feeling was to vote for this measure – I remember signing the petition to put it on the ballot some months ago. And given that research shows that a good quality preschool can make a big difference in the life of underprivileged children, why wouldn’t one support it? Specially, when it’s not I but the richest Californians who will have to pay for it.
But after reading the details of the measure, I can’t imagine voting for it. The measure is supposed to take in about 2 billion dollars a year. That money would be spent to build preschools, for teacher training and on teachers
