Thoughts On “Public Schools Increase Fees Charged to Students”
Sunday, February 19th, 2012You imply that illegal immigrants don’t bear the cost of education. I would say you’re incorrect in that illegal immigrants pay sales tax, which goes into the general fund to finance public education as well as contribute to property tax paid as renters. Also there are illegal immigrants who are property owners teaching and education they pay taxes as well.
You seem to be saying that only property owners are bearing the burden of paying for public education because they pay the most toward public education. Does that mean that renters, who pay far less in taxes toward education and low income people who don’t make enough to pay taxes toward education should be excluded from public education since they contribute relatively little or nothing toward funding education?
