Sigh. That's soooo not a good idea. NYS, where I live, does it, too. The money to make up for the loss has got to come from somewhere, and disincentivizing people to have the kids who'll pay through the nose to keep their elders afloat, that won't end well.
I agree. but in the meantime, I try to get back every tax dollar that I paid. Also, KY has a governor that is pulling out all the stops to get this budget managed, and the teachers union, et al is fighting him at every turn. But he’s doing it anyway. He’s like a local Trump, but with more articulate speech.
