In theory your taxes would benefit you in all avenues because you have more educated citizens making better choices, reducing liability because they are able to make better/smarter choices in their lives, etc. Just because you are technically paying for another kid to go to school doesn't mean you don't benefit from it.


True, except every citizen benefits from this equally. Why do people who have more expensive homes (or higher "assessments") need to pay exponentially more for this benefit?

It’s progressive just like the income tax. You can fundamentally disagree with that, but the concept is abundantly clear

No kidding. Yes, it's abundantly clear that I am overtaxed and under served.
