What if government school charged tuition based on income? School taxes on **everyone** could then be greatly reduced. It would be greatly appreciated by the poor.

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**.

I don't know how it works where you are, but here property owners pay the lion's share of the school taxes.

Econ 101 - you can't charge some people more because they make more and then claim they're now paying less.
