I own a home and pay plenty of property taxes, but I do not now, nor do I plan to ever use any of the public education facilities that are available. I'm not alone in this predicament, either. Pause before reading any further. Think carefully now, everyone I have asked this question so far has been way off. I'm paying my taxes faithfully, but I don't like it.
Taxes are against everything that free enterprise stands for.
Like money for food, for example. Every time money filters through an organization, some disappears. It is spent on building maintenace, salaries, overhead, and so on. So when the government takes my money away from me, they necessarily spend some of it collecting it. Then they spend more of it deciding who deserves it more than I do.
