... or I don't have children, why should I pay taxes for school? You never paid for your kids' education and your parents did not pay for yours either. Schools get built on 30 year bonds. Your children and grandchildren will pay for your education.
Secondly it is in your interest to have your neighbor's kid get educated. When you as an aging boomer get hospitalized wouldn't you want that neighbor kid who's working a low paying healthcare job to know the difference between a liter and a gallon when he or she administers an enema on you?
The US was the first country to offer public education to all classes of children and it was financed by plating a town and designating specific lots that the proceeds were used for financing a school. Public education benefits the public. I enlisted in the Military so others didn't have to be drafted. That's why I get the best health care you can imagine at VA. You and I pay taxes so kids can be educated enough to enlist, or work or seek higher education.
Pay your damn property taxes and be glad your grandchildren will pay off your education as you pay off your parents' public education.
Are you sure you're a Democrat?
And when the hell did a land lord ever lower a fucking rent. That's the funniest thing I've heard all damn day!
