Tax the rich to fund our schools

I think we should introduce a wealth tax to fund our public schools, it's about time the rich paid their fair share to ensure every kid gets a decent education. This is needed because our schools are struggling to make ends meet, with teachers buying supplies out of their own pockets and classrooms overcrowded, it's a joke. We can't keep relying on charity and volunteers to plug the gaps, we need a proper funding system.

Our public schools are the backbone of our society, they're where our kids learn the skills they need to succeed, and yet we're not giving them the resources they need to do their job properly. A wealth tax would change that, it would mean the people who have benefited most from our society contribute a bit more to ensure everyone's kids get a good education. It's not like the rich are going to stop investing in property or stocks just because they have to pay a bit more tax, they'll still be rich.

Someone was saying the other day we should tax people for having too many books. Perhaps the wealthy could fund schools by selling off their vast libraries, assuming they read them.
