If you don't want your tax money to help other people's children the future described in the article seems to a certainty rather than a warning. Your me first attitude isn't going to help a divided country.

1) We already spend a ton of money on education. Like I said, an average of $16,000 per student for Chicago Public Schools. I went to one of those schools from kindergarten to 8th grade and it was awful despite the cost. More money isn't what will fix the issue. More accountability and less corruption will.

2) Who the fuck works to put food on someone else's table and to send their earnings into someone else's community? That's nonsense. You aren't advocating helping anyone - you're advocating reducing the standard of living and education over-all. People work and invest into their communities with the expectation that the investment is actually going into their communities. Anything else would be even worse of a situation than what we have now.

3) There is absolutely nothing wrong wth a "me first" attitude. In fact, I'd argue that any sane and rational individual needs to put themselves first, and has a moral obligation to do so. Especially when they're providing for children. My earnings are first and foremost for myself, then for my community, and then for the federal government. I'd stop working and investing as much as I do if my labor was just going to making someone else's children competitive whilst my kids and my community's kids are shafted with increasingly bad education in the name of "equality."
