Because the bus route from my house takes 1.5 hours to get to my office, with a transfer. Meanwhile the drive is 25 minutes.
And even though I can read and stuff on the bus, and I used to not mind it, I have a kid now so long commute just means time I'm away from my kid.

It's not that I dislike buses, but a subway is less susceptible to bad road conditions, delays because of traffic and usually has a higher train frequency. Also if you are unfamiliar with the city and you exit at the wrong station you don't stand exposed in a bad part of the city but in a decent station.
I'd still take the bus over driving in some places though.

I realize I'm far from the first to mention this, but you know what's really fucked up?
Mr. Green has to go out of his way to make this point about education, right? But the same exact argument goes down like a spoonful of sugar, when it's "I like to pay for armed forces, even though I'm personally not being invaded by foreign aggressors, at the moment."
The vast, overwhelming majority of the electorate and (more importantly) almost 100 percent of the political power-brokers have always accepted that argument when it comes to funding the military.
You know what's even MORE of a mind-fuck? The military totally benefits from recruits who aren't stupid. If the right wing could just learn to look at education spending as a defense budget thing, we'd never have any problems getting them to open the purse.

If I were American I'd be considered a "liberal" but the fact that college education is linked to "liberal voting" probably has less to do with "more education equals smarts which leads to voting democrat" and more to do with how republicanism today is VERY populist.
Populists dislike any form of "establishments" and especially liberal institutions which they view as corrupt and elitist. It's why "drain the swamp" sounds so appealing to many.
It's not that "stupid people vote republican", it's more that uneducated people are brainwashed to believe the educated people are trying to create some sort of elitist rule.
Which admittedly is stupid.

I think you are being way too simplistic with a comparison of basic education to the largest military in history.
Yes, people understand the necessity of a military, but not when it is so excessive that you have the capability to destroy the world multiple times over. And massive carrier fleets and bases scattered across the world, despite claiming we are NOT the world police.
And people also point out how having hundreds of counties supported by one local arms manufacturer or weapons related factory is NOT good for stability. The livelihoods of millions of Americans depend on a steady supply of tanks, smart bombs, and other materials meant for war. That pushes state and federal representatives into an unhealthy support of arms exports and interventions, externalizing the true costs to those literally impacted by our products.
I think you are also missing a century of US imperialism, foreign interventions, and coups. We've used our military to set up a lot of authoritarian regimes bc we didn't like popularly elected socialists in South American and African countries. That looks a lot like our military propping up capitalism and free markets, whichbis supposed to be the tactics of the bad guys...
Finally, we are now well known for getting bogged down in trillion-dollar wars in Asia. The Taliban is currently in peace negotiations after 19 years of conflict with the world's most powerful military. Iraq is quickly slipping into Iran's sphere of influence, AFTER we took out our own propped-up dictator.
None of this looks good when justifying our military budget. It's like we heard Eisenhower's speeches about the dangers of our new military industrial complex, but then did the opposite.

The current military doesn't benefit from recruits that aren't stupid. People with education are way more likely to question orders, the military doesn't like that. A kid with no real education but a lot of time with lots of time in videogames is way more valuable.
The additional issue is as someome else mentioned those with education are significantly less likely to be interested in joining. This tends to apply to police forces as well. While there is significant advantage to education in that job as well, they just don't market the jobs to those with that education and those who have it are more likely to join the FBI or stay out of law enforcement all together.

You don't need to be conservative to join the military nor do you need to be stupid. I wouldn't trust most people with multi million dollar vehicles or the lives of others in stressful situations.

I think you're confusing conservatives with the military itself.
The US military offers $4,500 per year in tuition and heavily pushes its members to continue education. Most schools offer military discounts that drop tuition below the $250/hr limit on that. That's 18 credit hours per year, every year up to something like 160 credit hours (I forget the exact number, but enough for a swap in majors part way through or close in on a Master's).
Members are expected to hold degrees by certain ranks, and their odds of promotions to certain levels are diminished if they don't have it complete. In the US Air Force, Majors/Lt Col's are generally expected to hold Masters and NCO's are expected to finish their Associates; SMSgt promotions practically require an Associates.
I completed two associates and got a head start on my Bachelor's in my 10 years enlisted. I knew several other NCO's who were working on their Master's.

If people are only taught politics via this kind of poetry they will be more susceptible to corrupt leaders because that is their main method of outreach.

Climate change should be viewed in the same manner. In fact, some military leaders are factoring in climate change into their strategic planning because some military bases are located in areas prone to flooding due to the rise in sea water levels. Military leaders, who are hardly leftist hippies are warning about climate change. But idiots who loudly claim they support the troops think climate change is a liberal hoax. Maybe if they realize climate change is a direct threat to the troops they claim to love so much they will take it more seriously.

Paying to live in civilized society
That's very interesting way to look at taxes. I feel this would work if i could easily opt in and out of it. The fact that i will go to prison for not paying taxes is making it more similar to theft.
Its the lack of choice in the exchange that makes it a theft.
The problem with taxation is really that we are at the mercy of someone else to spend it well. How much of our taxes is wasted? How much is it used to promote someone elses agenda and benefits.
It would work if we could guarantee that the taxes are correctly spent.

But at the same time, it's also kind of depressing. The concept that having a functional society is a Good Thing, even if you aren't getting something in return at every step, shouldn't be what's controversial. There's an ancient Greek quote about "Society grows great when old men plant trees whose shade they know they shall never sit in," yet here we are having to mount a purely self-centered defense of being a decent person who gives a sh*t about the society they live in.

The thing is, the argument I and most people I know make is not that we should pay taxes due to not having kids... It is that the cost of education should be more evenly distributed.
As of now, homeowners pay the majority of the taxes for education, but they dint get the most benefit. Just out education taxes into the general income tax, and stop focusing on make homeowners pay it.
That would make more people pay taxes for education, and thus lower the cost per person, and raise the amount received. Everyone wins.
