I don’t mind that I will never be rich. I mind that those that are rich don’t think enough of public school teachers or the public to even let their children be exposed to us. All I want to do is live long enough to be able to vote for a politician that actual believes in public schools enough to send a family member there.
I think one of the primary reasons I play in tennis leagues with a public facility is for the weekend games. Driving into the realm of the rich my car gets stopped, they check my plate, they check my license, and want to know where I am going. Then I drive into their little isolated community and proceed to kick the crap out of them. It brings me some kind of perverse pleasure to beat people who are wearing clothes so nice I would have to take out long-term loan to buy them.
