And you'd prefer to pay millions of dollars a year to keep that belief?

Total up the millions being spent on death row cases, divide it by the number of taxpayers in this country, and you're talking about a cost of no more than $1 per taxpayer per year.

Sometimes it's important to keep numbers in perspective. "Millions" is nothing when it comes to the US budget.

Yes, I'll gladly pay my $1 to see these people get what's coming.

My guess is that a school near you is firing teachers because there is not enough money. So let me put the equation this way: abolish the death penalty and provide better educations by keeping teachers on the job or keep killing people and provide worse educations because teachers must be fired.

So....your ok with firing teachers to pay for "housing" prisoners for life? OR did you just want to let em' all go so we can save that expense in order to hire more teachers?

Public schools are largely supported by local real estate taxes, not the federal budget. Some of the poorer areas get supported by federal money. But my school district is doing fine, and that's all I give a rat's ass about.

Your point does not withstand. The millions we "waste" on the death penalty amounts to a drop in the bucket for even the poorest of Americans.
