Believe "driving down the quality of public education" would be addressed with, hmmm... paying taxes. And they wouldn't be uninsured either if hmmm... they could get a license and insurance.

You claim rightouesness by saying, yes you've been caught speeding and have paid a fine. But has that stopped you from speeding? Be honest. How many times have you sped, versus how many times have you been caught? If you haven't turned yourself into the police and paid a fine for each and everytime you've sped, guess what - you're still a criminal. Just because you weren't caught doesn't mean you aren't guilty. Sounds like moral relativeism on your part to me.
