Exactly. If this passes, the next step is “reasonable” regulation of private schools which accept state or federal funding.
It would be nice to simply see a property tax credit for anyone who does not support government schooling...but there again, in a free society we should not have property taxes on privately owned property.
Agreed. Property taxes make us all serfs, in a way.
Sure over a certain maybe homesteading and business level, tax that property. But whenever you take the consumer of a service, in this case, schooling, away from being the purchaser you introduce third-party inefficiencies. Add in government funding and you’ll have as big a mess as we have now at the college level.
The best plan would be for all states to be required to put up a non-property tax related education funding mechanism and leave property taxes to fund those things that are actually directly property related like water, sewer. street maintenance, cops, fire protection, etc. This change alone would obviate initiatives like California's Proposition 13 to allow retired people to continue to live in their homes. Take a look at your property tax bill, and you will find that schools are the largest portion of it.
I don’t know about your last statement. At least Constitutionally, don’t local jurisdictions and started states keep the option of deciding how to raise necessary revenue?
There you go. This is ALWAYS the plan with federal money. They will get control over ALL private schools. We need government OUT of schools and only local control for the homeless/poorl. Not even State level “control”. We need parents in control of ALL education of their OWN children.
We need to get our property taxes cut by OVER half-—and then we could afford any private school or to even homeschool (the best option/w/tutors).
TAXES need to be eliminated completely for “schools” and the indoctrination of our children. Do you realize how much of OUR money goes to INDOCTRINATE and DESTROY VIRTUE in our OWN children???????????? TRILLIONS-—and it is destroying our children’s minds.
This is HOW the government is destroying our Republic-—they got total control over the minds of ALL the children from “preschool” to adulthood by the 1930s so they could embed their evil, vile worldview (Marxist/socialist) in our children with LITTEL INTERFERENCE to their lies and disinformation (1984 skools).
