re: Issue after issue shows that you are just unable to think clearly.

I think clearly enough. The incremental cost of one child out of the system is almost nothing. As a good citizen, I am paying a very substantial tax, thousands each year, to educate his dumb kid, with no benefit to me. Now he's not satisfied with the result of the millions whose altruism gives his kid an education at a fraction of it's real cost, and wants to opt out and wants a tax break.

Fuck him and the horse he rode in on.

2. tax credit or voucher
- Brian tax + expense stays 1 U
- Your tax stays 1 U

Issue after issue shows that you are just unable to think clearly.


Gee, that's not the typical conservative screw_thy_neighbor approach, is it? You want John to pay his full share of the bill, even though he has no kids in the system (sounds like income re-distributioin to me) and give brian the freedom to opt out and get a voucher (brian being a fictitious person with a kid in the system, and john with none)!!

Wouldn't it be the republican way to return the savings to people like john who have no kids in the system? I guess some things need to be socialized after all (not the least of which is a child, by the way).
