Say what? The $400 tax break is a FEDERAL tax not a state tax. The states get very little money from the Federal government - about 9% of a school's budget comes from the Feds.

It wouldn't matter to me if the Feds only paid .5%....the underline concept is still valid:  families with children use far more public resources than single, childless people.  Why then, do the families get the tax break? 

I should get the tax break: I don't have a kid in school.

Okay, I see your beef but your beef should be where your education tax dollars go to and where they come from. That's probably your property taxes and your state income tax, if you state has an income tax. That's where you should direct your rage. And, I agree with you as well. The real stinker is those of us who pay private school tuition and have to belly up the taxes for the public school which we choose not to use because it is incompetent! Aaaargghh!

Single voters vote Democrat. That's why we in the GOP don't care about you.
