Fine, then they should have their tax dollars spent on education refunded to them. I didn't call the police or the fire department once last year. Can I get my tax dollars that were spent on them refunded?

And then you can use the same specious logic with your insurance agent.

If you called the police or fire department and they refused to come, ask for a refund. If they were available for any emergency you may have experienced, but you were fortunate enough not require their services, consider it money well spent. A poor analogy to the school issue.

I would have to say that's a poor point to make.
Police and fire dept are services that are "on-call" if and when you need their services, unlike schools, where, if you don't have children, are not "on-call" services.
It's one of my general "beefs" regarding property taxes, but there's nothing you can do about it. I don't plan on having kids, but I also know that protesting a portion of my taxes will only get me one thing...the potential to lose my property due to non-payment of taxes. Blech.

If they refuse to put out your fire, you should.
