I asked that question the other day at work, and a colleague said "you work at a public institution, so we're already funded by the public." The sad thing is, I think the public would more or less agree, even in the face of manifest evidence that Wall Street hijinks continued up to and after the arrival of their bailout(s). We've proven we can make it with gas at $4/gallon, and it's currently sitting under half that, so... gas tax anyone? I'd rather drive less for more education, art, and culture in general.
