That’s a load of spin and you know it.

This is basic Econ 101 here.
**Everyone** pays school taxes. They are found in rents, and they are passed on by businesses in the form of higher prices on everything we use and consume.
If there are sales taxes going to reduce school bond issues on buildings and other school expenses, then the poor pay school taxes here as well.
While a welfare recipient is exempt from income taxes on his welfare check, he is never exempt from school taxes.
And...While you point out the welfare recipient, you neglect to take notice of the working poor.
How much do you figure tuition is going to be?
Every person who has purchased, or is paying payments, on a brand new expensive car or on a house greater than 2,000 sq.ft, can afford to downsize and pay at least something toward their own child's education.
Doing so would greatly relieve the burden of school taxes on the poor.
What the poor ( and all those who do not have children) are doing is **subsidizing** that person's mini-mansion, expensive vacations, granite counter tops, and/or expensive car!
So....As you drive down the freeway, please take note of the expensive cars on the road. Please glance up at the school buses trekking up the hill to the mini-mansions. Everyone of these people who have kids in the government schools are making it harder on everyone else.
Hand them a government school tuition bill and reduce the taxes and burden on **everyone**.
