Education poll....

More funding. Private education is extremly costly, and a little finacial aid here and there wouldn't do the trick. Plus, where are private schools going to magically accomadate 50 million children who need an education.

Well, I wasn't saying we had to close down public schools, but we could take the tax burden off people and make those who are capable pay to attend. There's tons of people who are paying money to let rich kids go to school for free. Drastic things like this take baby steps. The quicker we start, the earlier we will be able to educate everyone with much less tax impact.

Most rich kids go to private school anyhow. If I had my way, rich families who go to private school would pay, in higher taxes, which many people seem to object to, taxing the rich.

I go to a private (parochial) school and <a href="http://www.srch-results.com/lm/rtl.asp?k=my%20family" onmouseover="window.status='my family'; return true;" onmouseout="window.status=''; return true;">my family</a> isn't rich. It's a good thing you aren't in charge, taxing everyone left and right because they are, or might be, rich

I didn't say the middle class doesn't go to private school often. I wouldn't tax people for going to private school, I was merely commenting that most people who go to private school, (most, not all) should be taxed more than they are.

I misread what you posted. I thought you said most in private school are rich instead of most rich kids go to private school. But anyway I still disagree that wealthy people should be taxed more because they send their kids to private school.

They shouldn't be taxed more because they send their kids to private school, they should be taxed more because they are rich and tehy are currently under-taxed. I would be fine with Clinton-level taxes for them.

Well we are obviously going to disagree about that (I've had this tax hike for the rich debate many times).

I think we are best off agreeing to disagree on this issue.
