| Haley2024 proposes consolidating school taxes; so the taxes are well defined. Haley2024 proposes tax exemptions for certain people that take care of items on their own that the government would otherwise fund. While not all government services lend themselves to the exemption from both the benefit and the taxes of a government program, education certainly qualifies. |  |
 | This funding will be strictly for education and not allowed in the general fund. Likewise, the general fund or any funding outside of these new taxes cannot fund education |
| Currently, funds for schools come from the general fund at all three levels of government, therefore many hundreds of different taxes. The funds collected through taxes are not closely linked with the public school system. |  |
 | Haley2024 proposes an education tax that is easily understood and that can be easily exempted by those not wishing to be in the public school system or funded by the education tax. A payroll tax is ideal. Haley2024 proposes that one level of government should take care of this. In the alternative, each level of government will need to set their tax and the rate. |
