My wife and I are beyond child rearing age, have no children, and won’t ever have children. How much of my income are the people in my area entitled to for educating their children? I am not the one that had them, I will gain no benefit from them, they are only a financial burden to me with no return. Much of taxation is like this.

You choose where to live, and you know the rules/laws governing taxation. My wife and I sought out a place to live where taxes were low and found a great little borough that has no schools. Ergo, there is no school tax. The one exception is that there are some kids in the borough that are shipped off to a local township for schooling. Our borough pays only the per child cost. While it would have been better if the parents paid for their own kids, at least our borough doesn't have to charge thousands of dollars to cover the cost.

ps - total property taxes are around $2500, and I'm in NJ.

So I am responsible for other people? Good to know. You don’t have a problem with taxation then, and it is legit?
I have to move where people are ethical and don’t steal my income? Or move where there are no children?

You didn’t address my question. You danced around it quite well, but really, that is very democrat of you.
