Possible State Question for Funding Our Public Schools

   Public School supporters as well as detractors are acutely aware of the dismal failure of the "one-cent sales tax increase" for our public schools and teacher pay raises, in November, 2016. A visionary look back reveals several reasons the State Question failed, including 1) Many corporate (not conservative) legislators and public school detractors such as Representative Tim Downing (R), said they did not support the one-cent sales tax increase to pay teachers; 2) Many public school supporters were opposed to placing the entire burden (sales tax) on businesses (not broad-based); 3) Many voters are opposed to a tax increase of any kind, as they don't trust our big-spending lawmakers to spend the money wisely.
   The post-election questions for public school supporters then became "Will our public schools in Oklahoma ever be adequately funded?" and "Will our State teachers ever receive a pay increase?". The post-election questions for public school detractors such as the corporate lawmakers in our State Legislature are "How do we prevent teachers from ever receiving a pay increase?" and "How do we eliminate and reduce the number of public schools, while we are increasing the number of public charter schools and private schools?". While I believe that most voters in Oklahoma support our public schools and teachers, I believe an Oklahoma State Question could be proposed and written which could pass in the General Election of November, 2018. Public school supporters could answer all three questions above and Oklahoma voters would pass it, in a land-slide. If we "broad-based" the tax increase for public education, instead of placing the burden on only business owners, then it may pass. A possible ideal scenario for a State Question tax increase might look like this: A 6 cent fuel tax increase, a one-percent increase in income tax (from 5% to 6%), and a half-cent increase in general sales tax. Of course public school supporters should also begin educating the public  about detractors (corporate lawmakers who only care about corporate charter schools and the privatization of our public schools, and not concerned about their constituents or public education.) I also believe if voters would begin eliminating big-spending lawmakers in elections, we could begin to trust them again with the public's money.
   I'd like to hear from anyone reading this post, as to whether the proposed tax increase question is a good idea or just one more bad idea. Please give me your opinion..
