@Lana Also, like, why are we worried about that? The truly rich parents are paying more taxes and are likely paying for their kids lunch and like 3 other kids lunches. How is that even an argument?

Not that rich people should get more because they pay more taxes. No, that's dumb. Their kids will get exactly the same lunch as the poor kids. More that every one of those arguments hinges on a bunch of lower middle-class people who can barely afford to feed their own kids being super worried about spending a little bit more of the money that they mostly didn't pay for. It doesn't make any actual economic sense.

But it's a weird pride thing. I've listened to those arguments from my parents most of my life.
