That thing where US schools are paid for by property taxes is so gross. Talk about a policy designed to maintain inequality.

It's not a U.S. thing. It's a state thing. Not every state funds its schools through real estate taxes.

Nevada, for example, is funded by sales taxes, ad valorem property taxes ("property" as in things, not houses and land), gambling taxes, federal money, estate taxes, and mining taxes.
