So I must be really crappy. I spend 68 cents of every dollar of property tax to a school that I don't send my homeschooled kids too. Granted the school is not getting the extra kicker from the feds for "educating" my kids. ( I am a Veteran)

I look at as I am saving the school money. We educate our children 100% free of state funds, but still pay for the new school the county just built, that is four kids not sucking up resources in the local re-education camp.

You raise an excellent point that critics of private education always miss - private schools are in fact an indirect subsidy for public schools. The tax dollars of private school parents are still funneled to the public schools that their children are not attending. You always hear people harping about the property tax breaks that church schools get, but those tax breaks are far outweighed by the tax savings resulting from the funding of the school through private resources.
