You're missing the purity of Dave's logic. In his little world, the quality of the education system
is inversely proportional to the salary of teachers, ergo if we pay them nothing, we'll have the best
damn education system in the world and our taxes will go down, leaving deep-thinkers like Dave with
more disposable income to spend on the important things in life, like cheap beer and tickets to pro
football games.

In Jon's world, on the other hand, the quality of the education system is
directly proportional to the money you throw in the direction of teachers.
The more money we throw, the better education our kids get. Don't you see
the results in test scores. (Oh, I forgot that in most states the educators
made sure the state standardized tests were dumbed down enough to insure the
scores would be higher.)

In my world, there's a relationship between how much you pay someone and the quality of the person doing the work.
