The education your children get affects me if I have to encounter your children. If you live in my community, then it is also likely that my tax dollars pay for your kids' educations. The medical decisions that you make for your children (vaccinations) can also affect me.
So no, that's a non-starter.

I'm not an "investor." I'm a citizen. There are no extra shares or votes which I can buy. These are different classifications with different expectations.
