[Rage Against the McKee]

This sounds pretty awful.

It would be a welcome property tax credit for a low income home owner that would like to put their child into a private school. They may not be able to afford it otherwise.

[Rage Against the McKee]

First of all, why would the state offer a credit on a tax that they don't collect? Secondly, the proposed credit does nothing to account for people without kids who are still paying taxes, so it is not "fair".

If you want to send your kid to private school, you should expect to pay for that. As a taxpayer without kids, the idea of my tax money going to private school tuition is somewhat offensive.

This argument can be made for literally rough ridin' everything. Get over it.

For the same reason the federal government imposes mandates on local school districts.

Why? I would consider it a better use of funds than the useless money pit that is public education. At least the kid is learning.

if you want your kid in private school, then pay for it yourself, it's not the states responsibility to help you.

If the state's public schools are failing (they aren't), then that is the state's responsibility. I don't see taking tax money away from state schools and giving it to other schools as a solution.

exactly.  if the schools are "broke", then fix them, just moving students over to private schools doesn't help the problem at all.

"As a catholic, the idea of my tax money going towards abortion is somewhat offensive."

as someone that wants to work, I find it offensive that my tax money goes to someone that doesn't want to work.

you want to get that vacuum abortion tax money back and put it into coat hanger abortions.

I don't think it will pass even in kansas.

The number of plausible examples boggles the mind.  You're smart enough to come up with one.

i'm not sure that the salina police are properly protecting your kids, should probably have the state pay for your private security force

why do poor people want their kids to go to school with rich kids?

Tax credits for Judges would solve the problem.

If all the dumbasses kids go to private school, the private schools won't be as good.

the credit has a limit so they can add the credit to the current tuition and continue pricing out undesirables.

This is a pro-academia, anti-public education thread.
