Comments on: Education Funding Reform – Tax Swap HB750 http://educationmatters.us/2008/02/26/education-funding-reform-tax-swap-hb750/ Reform Education because Education Mattes Mon, 29 Mar 2010 00:37:28 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.2 By: site admin http://educationmatters.us/2008/02/26/education-funding-reform-tax-swap-hb750/#comment-1383 site admin Tue, 04 Mar 2008 19:06:10 +0000 http://educationmatters.us/?p=843#comment-1383 My idea of funding is to fund each and every child equally. Reallistically there is no way education will be funded in the near future without taxes. My argument is that tax money is being wasted because the education bureaucracy is unaccountable and has become self serfing and bloated. If you look at the cost of private schools and charter schools, it is readily apparent that the costs of education can be accomplished cheaper than the public school system does now. By empowering parents with the ability to choose their childrens schools, you force the public schools to innovate and provide a good education for the lease amount of money possible. If not, they lose children and thus money. I am more inclined to support the Extreme Wisdom plan I mentioned in the post. It changes the funding whild giveing the great majority of people a tax cut. If there is a better plan out there, I'd love to see it and would be open to it. I am not supporting an increase in taxes though just to give bureaucrats more money to waste.
