Competition is the best thing. Home schooling, private schools all beat public schools. So, why do these people have to support public schools with their property taxes? Make only people who chose public schools pay property taxes. Grandma and grandpa shouldn't have to pay property taxes.
Once we establish a flat tax, all kids should be given a $ amount...say like, $10K / year. That money can be spent to go to any school they want, even homeschool.
No extra funding to public schools, they stand on their own merit like everyone else. You want to be dead dicks filling our kids heads full of bull shit, then they will get to see how many "customers" are willing to buy that.
I'm not on board with a flat tax. The original intent of the Constitution was for excise tax to fund these federal united States. It worked successfully before and it would work again. The people could be taxed by dealing in commerce as a sales tax. The income tax is slave tax. The carbon tax is not only a slave tax, but the consequence of death for being a non-productive slave.
Knowing our government though, they'll just slap more tariffs and taxes and "forget" about reducing the sources of taxation, to further bleed people dry.
See: Places like Canada, where ordering something from Japan for example means you have to pay a customs fee on top of shipping costs and then on top of all the taxation.
It's pretty awful honestly, and I can see them "forgetting" about that.
But if other tax sources were eliminated, then people would be more welcoming to paying tariffs and fees because it would (if appropriately priced) relieve the tax burden which also means more purchases.
It would probably even out in the long run, because people would spend more if massive percentages of their income weren't removed from their paychecks every period.
I honestly have no idea what it will or should be. If we go through a currency reset, to a real asset backed currency, and back to a proper tax structure, hell it may be $100 / year. No clue.
My kids went to a for-profit online school due to health issues. The local tax money that would have gone to the public school went to them. They never wasted a penny on crap. The Junior High trip to DC cost us $50, which they refunded. My daughter's senior trip was three days on Orlando. It was free.
What's your point here? Should grandma and grandpa that paid off their mortgage and now living on SS benefits pay property taxes for this? I don't believe they should. IMHO, only the people who choose to send their children to public schools should pay. The public schools have become ideology centers for Marxism and Luciferian beliefs. Not many people agree with this. It is high time we break their dystopian monopoly and allow real competition determine their survival. Eliminating property taxes and allowing the marketplace determine success is a fantastic idea that is long overdue.
I have been paying prop tax for 30 years where 60% goes to schools. I have no children. My hubs is 68. Yes, I think we should get a 60% break on paying anymore.
110% Agreed. Consider this. Our founding fathers understood how extremely important property rights were that Alexander Hamilton once advocated only property owners should have the right to vote. I do not necessarily agree with this, but I do understand the rationale behind it. In terms of this thinking, where does our present situation leave us regarding the vote? It has been completely undermined and has contributed to the massive fraud we are seeing today.
My mistake. The state money went to the for-profit school, not the local money. School levies are voted on and neighborhood demographics change. You have a choice on where to live and there's a long gap between your kids leaving school and retirement. It's pretty much your choice as to how much your town extracts from you for school money. The only thing I support more than abandoning your local school district is keeping them running cheap and hungry by withholding levy money.
It's not just levy money. That is really an additional 'fund raiser' to enrich the public schools. Property taxes are used for the basis of funding public schools. I believe anyone not having children or sending their children to public schools ought not to pay property taxes. Under the guise of compulsory education, the government has stole our property rights from all of us. We no longer truly own the land we paid for when property taxes we imposed. Consider this.

Yep, import taxes/tariffs and sales tax on non-essentials. That's it.

Amen.

They created this and then regretted it. It's almost hilarious if it weren't sad and pathetic.
I still remember them throwing a fit because they weren't able to indoctrinate children.
