I've never had kids. Don't think I should have a tax break because I have more disposable income then a family. Kids are expensive but they are also our future.
I'm fine with a huge chunk of my local tax dollars going to education.
I was a kid once

I would support but not sure how you would enforce a child-free zone. People without kids living in an area with no service for kids, which in reality would mean no public schools so no school tax.

As it is in many states your home value is driven in large part by the school district and how good or bad it is. But school taxes are huge.

I challenge that statement and think it is better put like this:

Properly used tax dollars funding education is money well spent.

I keep an eye on all of my money and often the government fails to do the same. It is my money, along with yours and all who pay taxes, going to fund these things. There is no government money. I want government to be an efficient spender of our money.

Trump’s worst nightmare.
Good one but it belongs in the joke thread.

Judge Walton asked if Barr's actions were a "calculated attempt" to help President Donald Trump and opined the attorney general had a "lack of candor" with the public and Congress.

"The Court cannot reconcile certain public representations made by Attorney General Barr with the findings in the Mueller Report," Walton wrote on Thursday. Barr's initial publicly announced interpretation of the findings from former special counsel Robert Mueller "cause the Court to seriously question whether Attorney General Barr made a calculated attempt to influence public discourse about the Mueller Report in favor of President Trump despite certain findings in the redacted version of the Mueller Report to the contrary."


He’s a Bush era appointed judge.

There's more justification for this position than the healthcare excuse. It's impossible for any of us to completely control our future healthcare status. But there still are plenty of elements of choice in having children.

You keep hearing all the candidates and some
Dem members of Congress, talk about how
dangerous Trump is. And you know what, they
are correct. Trump poses great danger to the
Democratic Party. He is destroying them. He's
the biggest danger they have faced in decades.
And that's exactly what they mean when they
say Trump is dangerous.
If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose.

He is dangerous to the whole establishment. He challenges their positions and wins. He actually wants to and gets things done. All the hand wringing by both sides about NAFTA. Trump gets it fixed at light speed for Washington. And the Democrat Party is scared because he is showing Blacks that Republicans do not want to cook and eat them. Or whatever message the Democrats put out that the GOP wants to do.
