If this gets us further from a land value tax, it is bad. Simple as. 100% this is disguised handout for home schooling right wing nuts. Property tax is not a significant burden for regular childcare outfits. "Cash poor asset rich" is not a real problem and anyone telling you otherwise it out to swindle you.

  property tax is a burden for anyone who owns property in the US.

    The weight of my t-shirt upon my shoulders is also technically a burden. Who cares. Quantitative distinctions matter, binary burden/non-burden thinking is not helpful.

      unless the weight of your t-shirt is a cause for great worry, it's not a burden.

      I pay $500/mo in property tax. If I were to watch kids to pay my rent to the government, it would take at least one full time kid. That is residential; I assume commercial tax rate would be higher. And that one kid may represent 10-25% of a caregiver's capacity.

        Once we improve the tax to be a land value tax, and get rid of the stupid blockers of development, you can convert your house into an apartment and pay way less tax. If you are a tenant in cross-subsidized apartment building, it is really easy to work as a building-wide childcare. You want to live in as big a building as possible to have as much addressable market as possible. (Basically you might not be the best nanny but you want as many kids as ludicrously conveniently nearby as possible.)

  > home schooling right wing nuts The government needs to compete for their tax base more. make public school worth it and these folks won't keep pulling their kids out to where the system falls apart like public transportation where only drug addicts/homeless take it.

    The only way to make public schools good is to to force them to be (*-)integrated so wealthy parents put the proper pressure on the state. (Karening for good) The "buy in to the school district" school apartheid-lite we have in the United States is disgusting failing race to the bottom.
