re: While that would appeal to my libertarian side, you'd end up with a bunch of idiots because their parents didn't care about them enough to pay for their education out of discretionary funds.

Do I detect a social conscience? Next thing you will want to help out the "welfare queens".

re: Not so fast. I agree with most of that, but if 30 kids went to homeschooling, that's one less teacher you'd need (or more appropriately more room for other kids or a smaller class). Those incremental kids could add up to make the difference between needing a bigger building or not as well.

Not likely...

re: I don't think it would raise your taxes

Sure it would, or create a deficit. You fiscally liberal Republicans think you can give tax breaks with impunity... eventually somebody pays.

re: but while we're thanking people you owe me for all the crap art projects I have to pay for where they show folks urinating on Jesus etc.

I forgot I was responsible for those!

I'm still waiting for a thank you... especially from the people with two or more kids. I'm more than happy to contribute $1000's every year for your kids... just like to hear a "thanks".
