Unions and Teacher Tax Breaks
- Share via
* Re “County’s Teachers Won’t Say No to New Tax Credit,” July 7.
It was stated that “the tax credits, which range from $250 for teachers with four years’ experience to $1,500 for 20-year veterans, are meant to reimburse educators for the out-of-pocket cash they spend each year on school supplies.”
I don’t think so.
Am I to believe that a 20-year teacher spends six times what a 4-year teacher spends when they teach the same classes?
What the tax credits really amount to are bribes to get unions to make political contributions and to get votes from teachers.
