Tax credit for educational expenses

I propose legislation that ensures every child has a right to high quality education so they can get the skills for a good job. We need to take this to another step, which includes an account or tax credit for every American to allow for continued education to permit advancement and to assist with displaced workers due to foreign competition. It's like a GI bill for every American to allow us to remain globally competitive.

Replace property tax with gambling tax as school revenue

We need to relieve property owners from the growing burden of education as a portion of their property taxes by increasing federal investment in the under-funded No Child Left Behind education mandates. Much of this could be paid for by a federal tax on state gaming revenues or a federal level national lottery.
