I would love that (more money for education), and I'm pretty sure the people who proposed this measure would drop it immediately in exchange for more money for education. But you are obviously not the first one coming up with this idea. Plenty of people have tried and are still trying, and it still does not work (it does not mean we should not try). In the meanwhile, we still need to improve the situation for people who are being the victim of it. This is why this measure has been created while your measure is still far from being reality.
