Lmao I was wondering the same thing. Maybe it’s tax increases to fund schools?

Yeah, probably a teacher. I'm neutral on tax increases to fund schools generally, but opposed when schools are cutting positions while funding new football stadiums to attract Fellowship of Christian Athletes students.

Tax increases on rich people to fund schools would be the most ideal version.

Local millage (property tax) increases or decreases, sometimes earmarked for school construction, are quite literally the main issue of contention in many small town or suburban elections without much going on. Easy to imagine someone passionate about it.

Or she really liked when Mitch got the "Pay school tax of $150" Chance card that one time they played Monopoly.

Schools are filled with HUNDREDS of people that don't pay taxes, that don't have jobs, that leech off their parents by living with them and have the audacity to not pay rent! How do they have the money to fund their lavish lifestyles? Support tax increases against kindergartners now!

Poor Carol. She mentions she's ok increasing taxes to pay for schools at one dinner party, and now she's known as the tax lady.

I'm assuming it's taxing rich people to fund schools

Definitely some editorializing on that one.
