I don't think it's fair that it's making it easier for rich people to get tax breaks for donating to private schools. It's not helping public schools like mine at all.

I just don't get why they're pushing this bill. It seems like a waste of time and money. How does it even benefit anyone? Who really benefits from this bill?
