Thanks for the pointer. I was actually just sitting down tonight to look over all the voting stuff, so this discussion was the first I'd seen on any issue.

Personally, while I might agree that the benefit is good, I don't agree with the means of funding, and so I'll vote "no". If people think this is an important issue, everyone should chip in. It seems really bizarre to fund this from the "rich". It's about as illogical a connection of funding source and benefit as I can imagine.
