what are we to do with all these spongers and layabouts of dubious social worth?
Why? Just so the 48% that already don't pay income tax won't have to pay anything for their kids education too?

educating them is just an encouragement to further indigence. something for nothing.
Oregon switched from the property tax system to the general fund many years ago. On the positive side, schools are ore equally funded. On the negative side, it creates more six figure jobs for useless government bureaucrats controlling the money. Extra initiatives are still placed on local ballots for approval of property tax paid issues.
Still...
More money does not solve the education problems. Oregon is a model to show that. We are likely at more than $14k per student, and no better than the rest of the nation. Worse if I recall, but haven't looked at the numbers for some time.
If it was up to me I would give them a cash bonus and a bus ride to California.
Oh...You were being sarcastic?
Apparently so...the results speak for themselves...
Seems to me that our society as a whole can move forward a little better if the richers help subsidize more school districts than just the one(s) they own property in.
They already do, dummy. A little out of touch, are we?
pay them to go away?
I presume there would be an agency to determine who is worthy to receive services from the State of Texas and hence, who is eligible for a resettlement bonus.
For your education, Blake.

So you think renters are avoiding property taxes?
really?
you said everybody from cali was moving to texas.
you want them to spend the bonus on a ride back home?
Meh...do it just like corporations do employment buyouts...
Lets say it's gonna cost us $20,000 over the next three years to take care of them...lets offer them $8000 cash to move to California where they can get better benefits...and don't ever apply for benefits in Texas again...
Edgewood is important but it's old news. Maybe you can cut Blake a little slack. he's not a current events whiz like you.

no, I don't. i was clowning on CC.
noted.......and angry at myself for not detecting any sarcasm.
someone would have to generate the list of eligibles...would you consider doing it?
Meh, who am I kidding? I'm fine with not detecting it.
Sure...
start with everyone that has a lonestar card that has been in Texas for at least 5 years.
I know some people with a lonestar card. She doesn't report her income, and he does just fine......they have 4 kids between them.....they threw a "block party" on their street in Stone Oak and bought crab legs, crawfish, and everything else you'd need to throw a good 'boil' together....
I honestly considered turning them in......
I ing hate the lonestar card.
I realize this has nothing to do with the thread.....I just remembered though how much I hate the lonestar card and those that abuse it.
Carry on.
if you qualify for services based on financial need, you need to leave the state of Texas.
