What about the tax money that’s extorted from the parents in the form of property and school taxes? They have to pay it on the threat of losing their property and going to jail.

It’s not like the government’s money is theirs, as if it’s a private foundation. The money the government is disbursing to pay for these services comes from the very people they’re denying the services to.

So you think it’s OK to force people to pay for something and then deny them the use of it? Isn’t this supposed to be a representative government? Who put them in charge to make those kinds of decisions without the input of the people?

That's one of the underlying themes of our current levels of taxation, isn't it? I think for those who opt out of something (public schools, watching PBS, or receiving an abortion, for examples) they should no longer have to pay to support it. But my opinion and two dollars might get a small coffee at Starbucks.
