Reynolds’ voucher program will cost Iowa taxpayers over $200 million in year two

[DogBoyRy]

School unions literally have zero power in Iowa

Really. How did des moines do during covid?

Where is that?

des moines, cr, davenport, etc.

 

[Formerly Rockymtnole]

Because the child is not receiving services at the public school.

Hmmm… what if your kids are grown and out of public schools? Or you are childless?

Hmmm… what if your kids are grown and out of public schools? Or you are childless?

And your point is what?

 

[WadeLookingbill]

And/or any other tax/levy we all pay but don't "use."

 

[DogBoyRy]

Then take the tax cuts and stfu?

 

[globalhawk]

Great comeback.

 

[RileyHawk]

Then take the tax cuts and stfu?

What tax cuts?

 

[DogBoyRy]

What tax cuts?

Iowa has reduced it’s income tax from 9% to 4%.
Ring a bell?

 

[Joes Place]

3.7 billion goes to public schools

Which are tasked with all the special needs kids that cost far more than regular kids.

And the private schools will take NONE of those.

Maybe I’m missing something. What does that have to do with the voucher issue?

Just responding to if your kids are done or no kids.
It has nothing to do with it obviously…
If in iowa take your $$ and ….

What income were those in the 9% tax bracket earning? What was the tax bracket of those in poverty?

I would laugh at you if you weren't so pathetic.

If it was anybody isn’t that a positive?
I think it was over $50k or above - most jobs that someone with a degree would have.

 

[Tom Paris]

If their school districts can’t provide good education then the locals can handle.
Program is more for communities where the school unions have taken over.

And again, in Iowa, the union is powerless. Please stop.

Got it. I’m still curious about Northern’s belief that the tax dollars should follow the kid.

As they shouldn't

Don't care.

They weren’t.
Thankfully for iowa it changed.

 

[WadeLookingbill]

Back to my original comments in this thread, how and when folks like Northern justify money flowing one way is a complete mystery. The concept of a parent getting tax dollars because they make the personal decision to not use the public school and instead enroll in a private school takes some serious mental gymnastics.

Are you asking about "anybody" receiving tax breaks? If so, the answer is no - particularly when you consider that there were no tax breaks for those with low income.

And I am laughing at you for thinking anyone making $50K or above was paying 9% income tax in Iowa. That's as ignorant as your stance on this issue.

 

[RicoSuave102954]

Iowa is lowering state tax and at some point, will be a flat tax state. This will encourage people to move into the state especially those living in blue states which tax people to death.

 

[RileyHawk]

As they shouldn't

What is your solution to educating children who won't be taken by private schools?

The rate was 9% for income over 50k.
Reason i left iowa during fat chets reign of terror.

Where do you think the taxes come from to fund schools?

 

[RicoSuave102954]

What is your solution to educating children who won't be taken by private schools?

1. The private schools are just not equipped to handle them.
2. Their current public schools are the best option.

 

[RicoSuave102954]

One of those liberals who love taxes right?

 

[Joes Place]

1. The private schools are just not equipped to handle them.

Neither are the public schools.

But they are REQUIRED to handle them.

When was that?

 

[RileyHawk]

No. Wrong again. Why won't you answer the question?

 

[Tom Paris]

Really. How did des moines do during covid?

des moines, cr, davenport, etc.

What’s your point? The Union. Has. Zero. Power.

The Republicans blew it up. We can’t strike. What part of that is so difficult to comprehend??

 

[RicoSuave102954]

Neither are the public schools.

But they are REQUIRED to handle them.

Yes, they are equipped to handle them.

 

[RileyHawk]

1. The private schools are just not equipped to handle them.
2. Their current public schools are the best option.

Not equipped to handle an average student who can't afford the tuition?

 

[Tom Paris]

They weren’t.
Thankfully for iowa it changed.

You don’t know what you’re talking about. Of course you just think the Republican GOVERNMENT has the answers for everything.

 

[Joes Place]

Yes, they are equipped to handle them.

No; they are not.

They are legally required to handle them. Unlike the private schools.

 

[DogBoyRy]

When was that?

Guessing 1995-2021 if not earlier.

 

[RicoSuave102954]

No; they are not.

You're insane

 

[Joes Place]

You're insane

You're denying facts.

 

[RileyHawk]

Guessing 1995-2021 if not earlier.

As usual, you guess wrong.

It is funny that you're trying to use 35+ year old data to support your current position.

What percentage of children who were in public schools last year will be able to use these funds to attend private school?

 

[Formerly Rockymtnole]

Don't care.

So you have no problem with people paying taxes for general education purposes, even if they don’t have children?

2021 is three years ago.
Just sayin.
