That much is obvious! I fully understand you've no intention of reconsidering the choice you have made. However, for the sake of anyone who might be awakened, two points:
there is no welfare when my school tax bill is over $6K (which I have to pay whether I use the school or not...
You have to pay taxes to feed the people on food stamps too. Why not take food stamps? And you have to pay taxes for their housing, whether or not you live in that housing. Why don't you? It'd save you a heap of money, property taxes, utilities...no mortgage...If food stamps were available to you, entirely without strings, would you take them? Of course you would.
Point two. Homeschooling is not a luxury. If you can afford to live in a high-tax region, likely paying 25x the property tax I do, you can afford to homeschool. You just don't want to give up the lifestyle.
It's a free country, you can set these priorities and make these choices, but one ought to be honest about it.
Again, I write this not for you but for whomever it might avail.
PS: I am against killing genius ANY children at ANY price.
“You just don’t want to give up the lifestyle.”
You have no idea what you are talking about; people use MY lifestyle as their justification for never having children. There is no savings, just a paycheck-to-paycheck subsistence in an aging home I’m determined to provide for my family (that allows them to have close relationships with their extended family), with an aging vehicle, necessary dental work deferred for both myself and my wife, etc. My children’s Christian friends are exclusively Hispanic (as is my wife - a resident alien), while others are Muslim or Hindu; they have intact, traditional families (unlike many Americans I know), and none are only children (they all have siblings). The food stamps’ issue is absurd; I use the public schools because I can’t afford the alternative (and I pay for them), and see no relationship to food stamps at all.
I am exercising my freedoms to the best of my abilities, in a manner compatible with my faith.
