I empathize as well, but a better plan is needed. Throwing out the baby (and the schools) with the bathwater has not worked for California. 30 years ago voters there put into effect an anti-tax Constitutional Amendment that is nearly impossible to change, and the state is now reaping the downside. Large numbers of the better off retirees have moved to neighboring states, where they're now pushing for similar "don't tax me for schools 'cuz my kids are done" regulations.
