[QUOTE="Glocktogo, post: 2467097, member: 1132"] I'll see your lottery and raise you H.B. 1017! :( Exactly! I like that idea! Some of these rugrat breeders have no other concern than to dump the kids off on someone else for the day. I'd even go so far as to suggest a reimbursement program based on grades. Bad grades, no reimbursement. After all, a good kid who learns is usually an asset to the community when they grow up. Agreed. I don't have any kids, yet I don't mind paying reasonable school taxes because I benefit from the program. How? I live and work in a community that needs educated workers. I'll use Allentown, PA as an example. I went there for a weeklong event and swore I'd never go back. It really wasn't as ugly as the Billy Joel song would have you believe. The problem? Really stupid people. I didn't go to a single place to eat where it diodn't take 2+ hours to have a meal. The wait staff screwed up everyone's orders and they couldn't split a bill if their lives depended on it. This was everything from an IHOP for breakfast to a really nice restaurant downtown. There were other issues besides restaurants. Most of us were infuriated by the time we left. We determined that the local education system must be so awful, they were incapable of producing competent workers. So I really don't mind because the alternative is far worse. However, if you don't have more money to spend you'd better figure out how to make the money you have really work for you. Begging for more money that isn't there will simply create animosity and resentment. Whether you have kids or not, this really is a statewide issue that our communities need to figure out. No one wants to live in another Allentown. :( [/QUOTE]
