[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] Hi #3. I wish they would give us private school people a tax break. I think if they did the public schools would have more incentive to get their act together. [/quote] There are so many things wrong with the idea of a tax break for sending your kids to private school, I don't know where to begin. Tax expenditures (which is the technical name for what you're talking about here, a tax deduction or credit) generally have some public policy purpose. Let's think about the "incentives" you'd actually create here: 1. You want to give a tax break to rich people for buying luxury goods like private schools? What's next, a tax break for buying a BMW or a sailboat? 2. The only "incentive" here is that you'd be giving the middle class an incentive to leave public schools. 3. Sucking the upper SES kids out of public schools is not going to help public schools "get their act (sic) together," that's just crazy talk.[/quote]
