Class warfare does indeed have to do with the conservative agenda, when special-class subsidies such as this one create big government maniacs out of purported Freepers such as yourself.
Private schools are overwhelmingly the domain of the wealthy, and the idea of increasing federal funding for education—where the feds don’t belong at all—by giving big, fat, five- and six-figure new entitlements to, yes, predominantly the rich, is the sort of thing only socialite bimbos could be so narrow-sighted as to push for law in this country.
Again, taxpayers provide you with a free education. If you don’t like that, you can buy your own. Or, arguably, schools would be better if state and local governments supported vouchers somehow.
But Ivanka’s massive gift to her socialite moms in Manhattan is obscene.
“Private schools are overwhelmingly the domain of the wealthy”
Who attends by family income is irrelevant to any tax deduction for tuition that applies to middle class families of which there are many. It is an aid to any family, not just the wealthy. Most of my middle class family relations with kids in private schools would get the deduction and more like them would use private schools if they got the deduction.
As I said, I do not oppose the deduction as what I think is the ideal is not available - parents get the “public support” to give to any school of their choice.
