1.  So what is your argument?
2.  Here's what you also said: "1. I disagree because giving a tax break/credit to those not using the public education (e.g., private school families, no children families/couples/adults, etc.) is not the same as giving a tax break to rich people to buy luxury goods/services." So maybe you don't want the tax break for yourself. But your whole post is an argument about why you think it's good policy.
3.  Being a fiscal conservative is totally relevant. If you're proposing that the fed gov give tax breaks of $10-35K for every kid in this country, that's a butt-load of income tax revenue that will be lost to this program. Even if you restrict the tax breaks to families with, say, less than $200K in annual income, it's still a ton of money (because most families are not in the 1%). How can that be irrelevant?

NP again.  You posted your disagreement with a PP's post (which seem to be pro-tax break for private school families); I posted my disagreement with your post (e.g., I disagree that a tax credit for those not using public education is the same as giving a tax credit to the rich to buy luxury items).  I'm not interested in now debating/defending my POV with you; sorry.           [/quote]

So you disagree, but you can't be bothered to tell us why?  Then what exactly are you doing here, simply telling people to go screw, no explanations required?  A@@hole.[/quote]

NP again.  You posted your disagreement with a PP, and I posted mine with yours.  We're equally entitled to our own opinions and expressing them we see fit.  But given your paragraphs-long attack on my post I suspected that you weren't the type of PP who could engage in a civil discussion about a controversial issue and I see that I was right (geez, you've already called me an asshole).  But we are on the troll playground so I'm sure you'll be able to find someone else to engage you, I'm just not interested.  [/quote]

Telepathy fail -- you're confusing posters. Apparently, several of us disagree with you.

So let's get this straight: you refused to respond to a thoughtful, polite post because it was "paragraphs-long," too long to read, apparently. Poor you, having to read a constructive but long post!  You weren't actually called names until your condescending refusal to justify your position. Go back and check.

It's totally awesome, though, that you keep returning here to defend ... your refusal to defend your original post! [/quote]

NP again.  Actually, I think you're confusing posters.  I'm not the "original poster" -- I'm not the poster who seemed to be in favor tax breaks and credits.  Then another PP (perhaps, you?) seemed to attack "original poster" for [u]reasons[/u] I didn't agree with -- and in my post, I explained why I disagreed with those reasons (and there's nothing more to add).  More importantly, my post also made clear that I didn't agree with what I perceived as the the "original poster"'s underlying view (and I specifically stated that I'm not in favor of tax breaks, credits, etc. but believe that all citizens are obligated to support public education).  So maybe you -- rather than I -- should instead go back and read my posts (all of which begin with "NP here" or "NP again").  It seems to me that your continuing demands to "justify the position" would be better directed to the "original poster" but seeing how you've attacked and name-called someone who would actually be on your side of the discussion (but not for the reasons you offered in your initial attack), I can certainly understand why "original poster" won't engage with you either.
