Bite me. I personally have spent thousands of my own money educating other peaple's kids - getting a tax deduction for it was a minor but nice gesture.

You will note that it was a tax deduction, not a rebate.

You sound like a democrat, insisting that I not only spend money on your kids, but also pay income tax on that money.

So why don't you just itemize those as a non-reimbursed business expense?

Man, the public skool situation is worse than I thought.
Not only are billions of tax payer $'s being squandered on kids who can't read, spell or do math,
teachers are spending their own $' on top of it !

Bite me... You sound like a democrat, insisting that I not only spend money on your kids, but also pay income tax on that money.

Please show me the "free public education is an entitlement" clause in the Constitution, if you will, Mr. NEA.

And I'd be more than happy to bite anything off of you that you wish.
