But everybody is being schooled from home. They must be saving a fortune.
Consider the school bus fuel & maintenance savings alone...
Wealth redistribution. Those who work must give to those who do not.
Teachers in PA are insanely overpaid.
It’s always for the kids with these politicians.
” families with two children making less than $84,000 will receive a tax cut while a family of four making $50,000 will have their taxes eliminated.”
A family with 2 children is a family of four. What does this mean?
All public school teachers are grossly overpaid.
Why bother proposing it? Just get the PA Supreme Court to mandate it. That is how PA operates these days.
The payoff to the state teacher’s unions for essentially bagging work for a year and making the argument for the economic lockdown so he didn’t have to.
That's why we call the Guv "Tommie the Commie"!
Yeah... Probably this proposal is DOA in the state legislature... Probably.
The marginal utility of new money for public schools is negative.
That means every additional dollar actually makes them worse.
Penna is a blue state now. They won’t mind paying extra taxes. It’s for the children.
This is a ridiculous statement. My wife who is a school teacher makes a whopping 39000 a year. She puts up with a alot of bad kids and parents.
Yes there are a lot of bad teachers, but look at what a babysitter would make baby sitting 30 kids all day. It would be a whole lot more than some teachers make. So even a bad teacher who is basically babysitting is probably under paid. Everyone likes to complain about teachers but most don’t want to give up their jobs and homeschool.
And this is why we moved from PA to FL last year.
but remember our $100,000 teachers didn’t miss one paycheck...not one.....
Making a retirement decision is becoming easier and easier.
It is more than that; we are looking at a redistribution of wealth from those who work to those with children (Whether they work or not).
The primary beneficiaries of Trump’s tax cuts were childless workers renting apartments. Property taxes (at least in states like NJ) primarily go towards the public school system - so childless payers are getting little in return (emergency services and public works are less than half of those taxes).
