Simple what you receive from the govt is “income” too.
For example, an accountant earns 90K after taxes then pays 15K in health care costs. His income should be 75K.
A low income earner earns 50K after taxes but we ask him how much do you receive in SNAP, HUD , WIC & CHS and earned income? Its dollar values are all known. If that sums to 50K that means he should be assessed at 100K.
Why isn’t the fair? Will the schools really do that?
