As soon as the deed for our property goes through we will have to pay nearly $1,000 a year in a school tax. We already have to pay for all of our children's education expenses ourselves. I don't think it's right or fair. My children are not and will not be in public schools. Why should I have to pay school taxes when the parents of kids actually attending the schools can avoid the tax by renting and not owning property?
As if I don't pay enough in federal and state taxes already. I am TOTALLY in favor of a tax credit. I already have to submit insane amounts of testing and paperwork (we're in PA) so I don't really care what they want for "proof" LOL I'm sure I already have it together here somewhere.
But I can see where that would be a concern for parents in less regulated states. I dunno. I just don't think it's right for parents who pay for their children's education to also have to pay for the public schools. Just my two cents. Even if it isn't a drop in the bucket compared to what some pay, at least it's something.
