Since I pay school taxes, but have no children -- and thusly haven't benefited from that tax -- I take the very opposite view.
"Since I pay school taxes, but have no children -- and thusly haven't benefited from that tax -- I take the very opposite view."
Yeah. And how about that tax credit that goes to people with children, even if they didn't earn enough to pay taxes? I pay that sucker through my taxes. Phooey!
Are you suggesting that you have gained no benefit from the children in this country being educated? One can readily contest the effectiveness of our school system for the funds spent, but it is short sighted to say the childless have received no benefit. Is the level of benefit sufficient to justify the cost? I suspect it isn't, at least not for conservatives, but there is no reasonable way to measure it.
