I would think it would be safe to say that most taxpayers feel the
same way. We could all either do the right thing or we could all
play the selfish game. If I were the selfish type, I would be
calling for a $500 tax credit for myself since I have ***no***
children and thus my tax dollars should not be paying for public
schools. So why again should $500 be kicked back to parents who
choose to send their children to private schools as opposed to
kicking this money back to the taxpayers as a whole who are ponying
up this cash for public schooling in the first place?
