Following Educational Funding

After reading the article in Arguement that was wrote by Mrs. McCabe I think many americans should also read this article. Our country is constantly talking about our kids growing need for education but how do we plan on supplying them top notch education if we are allowing companies and millionaires to get away from paying their fair share in taxes. She goes on to say some of the people she interviewed said they would see a company move into their town and get a ten year tax break and then when ten years was up for them to start paying taxes they would leave that facility and relocate. Not only does this leave many people without jobs it also decreases the amount of funding available to the school. This is then return cause county governments to raise the middle class's taxes in order to help provide for the school. If these companies werent given such a long tax break more revenue could be brought in for the school allowing them to maintain nicer facilities for our students to be educated in. I came from first hand experience of this, where my schools science lab could barely be called a science lab and prevented us from doing anything in it. The lack of the lab also prevents the high school from offering dual or AP credit biology and chemistry because they dont have the facilities to hold theses classes. New buisnesses arent the only ones to blame though, the average person pays $12 in taxes for every $100 they make, but if you make more than a million a year your are only taxed about $5 for every $100. How is this fair to tax the people with the most money less than those who might be struggling to get by. I feel that TEF needs to keep pushing foward as it had been to reform the coporate tax loopholes so that businesses and millionaires are taxed fairly compared to everyone else in this country. This would allow schools to maintain nicer facilities for the kids and faculuty to provide them with excellent education.
