As I pointed out in When Work Disappears, the most rapid growth in expenditures for U. S. welfare programs has been in universal entitlement...

Savage Inequalities Property Tax
1,214 words. Kozol feels that the way in which we fund public schools is arcane and unfair (54).

This is a problem because the wealthy schools keep getting wealthier and the poor schools keep getting poorer. For example Kozol points to the inner city schools of Chicago in comparison with a suburban high school (New Trier). He states tha...
