21. Good for you, it's a noble
profession and in my estimation done very well with what you have to work with.

I really get tired of the Cons saying that spending has nothing to do with education. Follow that to the logical conclusion and $0 will be as well as $1,000,000. Makes no sense.

The new funding is proposed to come from a "business tax" imposed on professional services. Yeah, they talk about taxing Lawyers, but it will also come from accountants, hair dressers, Realtors, and anyone not a bona fide employee of some other business.

As a Realtor I don't oppose such a tax. Hey, somebody's gotta' do it. I just hope they put a floor on the income so hair cutters making $25k a year aren't hurt.
