to increase benefits
for children and their families through
changes in the Child
Tax Credit, but the plan is vague on critical details.
This
change to 529 savings accounts immediately benefit wealthy families who already send their children
to private schools, but now they will be able
to offset their tuition that they already intended
to pay
for, but now can receive a
tax credit for it.
However if you are going
to elevate property
taxes over other considerations in this manner it is only right
to fully account
for changes in property
taxes and that includes dealing with the School Levy
Credits.
