Both politicians are filthy rich and don't give a fuck about us sheep.

Taking a few economics and civics classes could help you understand a lot of what you're asking
But here are some hints: The city of Atlanta spends more per child than any other district in GA. Yet they have the worst school system. Private schools spend less per student than the public schools do (and homeschoolers even less), and the teachers make less in salary, but the private schools are almost always provide a better education than public schools. Do you really think throwing money at public schools will solve the problem?
Are you willing to add an additional 20-30% to your tax bill in order to provide "free healthcare" to every citizen? Are you aware that the vast majority of people in the US who don't have health insurance CAN afford it, but choose not to have it? Are you willing to pay extra tax dollars to pay for the healthcare of those people?
