When all else fails, go for the personal insult. How charming and persuasive you are!

That's right. If you weren't paying income tax, you'd be able to send your children to schools 10 times better than public schools at half of the cost. You'd afford the best healthcare, have a better retirement, and have money left over to give the your favorite non-profit charities which would get more money to those in need than welfare.

Again, you weren't reading. I am tax-exempt. I was living in a no-income tax state. Making $12 an hour. And not able to make it, even in substandard housing.

Since I wasn't paying taxes, explain how I send my kids to better than public schools at HALF the cost? I'm not paying anything now...how do you half the cost of that?

Yes, now you pay 1/2 of what you were paying before. And if you can't afford to send children to school on your meager earnings, perhaps you shouldn't have children.

Again, you didn't read. I DON'T pay anything now.

How many people in the United States are making $24,000 or less per year? Do you have a percentage? Even if that is tax-free, that is very little to survive on, let alone pay for school, day care, healthcare, retirement and charitable donations. $12/hour is a little over $23k per year, so I was being generous with my number.

But think about that. $24,000 a year. That certainly is meager. Then consider that people who make minimum wage get around $10,500 per YEAR. Talk about meager!! So you're saying that if you make less than $24k a year you shouldn't have children??

What was that percentage of the population again? I don't think your platform is going to be popular with us "po-folk".
