My husband and I also pay high taxes for a school system we do not benefit from, because we did not have children at all. However, we don't complain about it because it is beneficial to society to educate its future citizens. We don't expect a refund simply because we did not reproduce, yet you want one because you just don't want to use the public schools.
WHy do you put up with them confiscating your money and spraying it all over the place for ANYTHING beyond Constitutional limits? The peoblem isn't just education and schools- it's everywhere the government has exceeded it's role.
You're swallowing the socialist line quite nicely. You would have made a good Democrat in the 60s with that kind of thinking. I'm not trying to be obnoxious, but step back and look at what you are accepting.
You should hear the seniors in FL howl when property tax hikes are proposed for schools. They typically complain tha they already paid for their kids and grand kids to go to school [in another state] before retiring in FL and that it isn't fair to have to pay again. But these are the same ones that drink the AARP cool-aid, too.
