[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OMG OP, you sound like a person who is jealous of private school kids.I can barely afford to send my kids to private and sacrifice a lot to do so.  Each kid in private saves the taxpayers 15k to 20k per year per student depending on where you live.  [/quote]

It isn't about jealousy, it is about right and wrong.  You sound unbelievably entitled!  You are required to pay your taxes LIKE EVERYONE ELSE!  You should not be entitled to have hardworking taxpayers subsidize your child's private school!    P.S.  I'd like to know how much money the taxpayers are foregoing per year so that your private school can get out of paying its property taxes!

There is a public policy reason for homeowners to pay taxes -- it is for the PUBLIC good (surely you know that!).  What, exactly, is the public policy reasoning behind private schools being exempted from paying their property taxes?[/quote]

I pay 6k in property taxes on my house.(lets say it is similiar amount per child for a private school)..the net savings to the tax payers is 15-6 equals 9k.  So as a taxpayer, I would think school choice would be a great thing both financially for the county.  Also,  education is vital to the future of this country and if people think their kids would get a better educatuon outside a state sponsored school then what is your beef?[/quote]
