If You Really want to improve Educational Results (wage, high school, education system)

[bobtn]

change the tax code. Do not give parents exemptions and deductions per dependent as they are growing.

Give it to them , retroactively, when the kids have completed , at minimum, some post secondary education or training. Given the $300 median wage gap b/w college and high school grads, and no doubt some gap for post secondary training completed, they would now have provided the ROI for the nation to have earned the credits for raising them correctly.

And if you really really really want to improve educational results get your crap together before you bring life into this world then teach your child to never rely on anyone but themselves and those that truly love them.

If you need a tax incentive to raise your child correctly you've already lost.

I agree we should not offer tax incentives simply for breeding.

Less government is nearly always the answer...if not always.

Now if you're telling me we have to have these deductions yeah I guess throwing them in at the end might be better.

If you do your own taxes it's pretty amazing all the crazy deductions and penalties that are in there...even for a pretty solitary guy like myself.

I just sit there each spring as I fill them out thinking "Who the hell put this in here and how are they making $ off it?"

These thoughts end when I finish up. I only have a passing interest in how these gangsters operate.

Less time I spend even thinking about the government the better off my mental health will be.

Good Government breeding is rewarded, and apparently, rewarding.

Who needs education!

if you REALLY want to improve education in this country, then get the federal government COMPLETELY out of the education system in this country. its the feds that keep pushing the social programs on education. leave education to the states where it belongs.
