Hey, I've had an even niftier notion! Say *everyone who's ever been to
school* and is *already* earning money pays into a pool that's distributed
to *today's* schools, *now*! That way, instead of having to wait for their
graduates to find work sometime in the future and pay them then (those who
manage to find a job, anyway), the schools would get funds immediately!
And to save on the excessive costs of all those different insurance
companies, with their wasteful duplication of effort, how about paying
*into one big fund* that's overseen by representatives *chosen by all those
people paying in*!
Oh, wait--
