I used to live in Cal. I am sorry for those of you still there as the death spiril approaches Stuka proportions.
No one want sto admit that education begins in the home. Add onto that the multi cultural approach to education and you have a beast whose appetite cannot be met.
Without massive spending, governments don't grow into the monsters they are in most other states. People don't even realize how enslaved they have become, think it's normal, and figure everybody out there is taxed to death too; unreal.
Only $13,000 per pupil - are you sure?
In cities here in NY State (NY, Buffalo, Syracuse, Rochester) - the average cost per pupil is $22,000!
And you’ll be lucky if half graduate.....
Also throw in huge amounts of “fossil fuel pollutants” that won't be released driving the kiddies to/from school.
No to/from school would lead to less traffic on the roads, which equals less need for maintaining roads, right?
The need for tax revenues should plummet! YAY!
Like “they'd” ever let any of this stuff pass, right?
Public education is a failure. It depends on people who desire to be educated.
Social Security and Medicare are income taxes as well.
If they could just figure out a way to get enough of our money, they could solve all our problems. We’re just too stupid and greedy.

There are NO private day schools in my state that charge a tuition that high.
There is one boarding school that does, but it is a specialized school that includes training for a specific Olympic sport!
I had a professor a long time ago that stated that taxes are meant to keep the people broke. Then the government has control over them.
AMEN!!!
At least they will be collecting California tax money.
What outrages me, is them paying for illegal alien’s education, running a $ 15 Billion deficit and then being bailed out by the federal government.
The bailout funds are taxes that I have to pay even though I don’t live in California and am opposed to paying for illegal’s education.
This also applies to healthcare and abortion.
What they did have was a work ethic and self control and a desire to learn and parents that loved and disciplined them .
Excellent point. Also when the kids got spanked spanked by the teacher, they got spanked again when they got home and they all survived
While they are proposing this they let thousands if not hundreds of thousands of acres of land be put into to enviormental trusts which are then made tax exempt a direct hit on school budgets.
Eventually, the only people left in California with money wil be teachers, government employees and lawyers. And knowing lawyers, that won’t last long.
The (economic) phrase that you are looking for is zero elasticity. That is the concept that liberal trash cannot understand.
When a tax is imposed spending habits change - money does not suddenly appear of of thin air to pay these crushing burdens.
I can't swear to this, but I seem to remember reading that CA was floating the idea of a "fee" to be assessed against businesses when they left the state. Something along the lines of a percentage that correlated in some fashion with the size/assets of the business that was leaving.
