Yeah, I did. I think its if you make under 5k or something like that you pay nothing. In the two years after HS though when I was working more I had some low paying jobs and I got taxed a few hundred.

And I know that the government doesn't create jobs but the public school system that uses government funds is the institution most accountable for preparing people to enter the workforce. If we are able to give young people a better education and teach them a little more citizenship and life-skills than we are now I think that would benefit employers by giving them a better educated, more productive workforce. The thing about education is that it is not necessarily more funding thats needed, its also a reform in teaching methods and curriculae. Cutting/reforming what doesn't work and adopting/expanding what does.
