Landlord Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 I'm just confused how 200 million dollars is a conservative estimate for getting every school student in America a laptop to use. Is the going rate for a laptop 2.7 million these days? Link to comment
cm husker Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 Are you going tonpay for them to move? Or fund their job search? Because those are pretty taxing personal endeavor. That is a ridiculous statement to make. No. No. And no it's not. We need to encourage social and economic mobility. One way to do that is reduce the ridiculously regressive mortgage interest tax break. Let people stop being tethered to a piece of physical property. 1 Link to comment

I cut the numbers low to assume we only give laptops to kids who can't otherwise afford them. Link to comment
