@KenK4Pa @PAHouseGOP Oh my God, you don’t understand anything about how this works. Please read up on EITC and how the money goes from businesses straight to supporting students. If anything, as a Libertarian, you should be cheering this on and railing against public schools.

@SableMochan @PAHouseGOP And exactly WHERE does that federal tax credit money come from? From your federal tax dollars. So in the process of the cash going from you to the feds to the state to the schools, the various bureaucracies suck up the lion's share. Accepting federal dollars is bad economics.

Gov. Kathy Hochul of NY just became the second Democrat governor to opt in to the federal school choice program. That’s 30 states putting kids first. Why won’t Gov Shapiro make the same move for PA’s kids?

@KenK4Pa @PAHouseGOP You’re running for governor and you don’t understand the difference between a tax credit and federal tax dollars? I see the Libertarian Party is still embarrassing.

Accepting “free” federal dollars is unquestionably a bad economic deal. That’s because every dollar you send to Washington gets laundered through its bureaucracy. Of course that sucks up so much money that only a portion of that dollar reaches the state. But then the state has ITS own bureaucracy to launder those tax dollars even further. And so does your local bureaucracy. In the end, studies show that you’re lucky to get a dime on the dollar for every dollar sent to Washington. And even then, should that remnant dime somehow find its way to its intended destination, too often it gets funneled to political cronies. On the other hand, if you kept that dollar local, you could educate ten times as many kids, build ten times as many roads, provide medical care for ten times as many seniors, and innumerable other tenfold savings. Using federal dollars for anything is a bad economic decision. Worse yet, accepting federal dollars is akin to accepting free drugs from a pusher. The next thing you know you’re addicted, and the pusher begins pulling strings to make you dance to the pusher’s tune. Are you accepting federal transportation dollars? Then lower your blood alcohol limits or we cut you off. Accepting Medicare dollars? Then force doctors to charge using the Medicare fee structure, or we cut you off. Taking federal education dollars? Then stand back, because here comes Title IX! It doesn’t matter what the topic may be. Accept the benefit and bear the burden. Even worse, those federal education dollars support a failed system.
