Childfree village, childfree schools? taxes? (employment, public school, to move)

[Allandi]

I heard about the childfree village in Scotland and want to establish one in the United States or else all us childfree activists will just have to move over the cold cold and wet Scotland in order to be free of public school taxes.

Can`t see the problem...There are places all over the UK and the US doing exactly the same thing...They are usually called pensioners hideouts,,,Why should age have anything to do with wether you want kids around or not???
I reckon they`re missing out,,,but that`s up to them eh???

Certainly hope Scotland doesn't get any extra grumpy old people who got a state education and whose kids got a state education but don't want anybody else to get a state education. Certainly don't want any kids to get an education, find decent employment and pay taxes to support the elderly. No that wouldn't do at all.

I'm happy to pay taxes towards educating the next generation, whether they are my kids or anybody else's - why wouldn't you?

They'll grow up to be the next generation of scientists, train drivers, Doctors & nurses, writers and all the other things humankind and society needs.

Why should you try to avoid paying the real costs/taxes on that?

So if you won't pay for this generation of children to go to school, will you also ask that your taxes not go towards the children of parents on welfare and medicaid?

If so, will you be willing to pay higher taxes to feed and clothe the extra inmates that society will end up with in 25 - 30 years because it raised a generation of isolated, desperate, hateful, and unhappy people?

I will only support taxes for contraception so that the next generations don't burn all the oil I will need in my retirement.

Ah. Just thinking about the good of the planet and mankind I see.

Course then there won't be a younger generation to fix the cars, mend the roads, man the refineries and install the heating system when you are too old and decrepit to do it for yourself. So you won't be needing that oil after all.

Labor is not a problem, natural resources are. Do towns fund their own school systems in the UK? or does the national government do it all? Can that childfree village in Scotland save school taxes? like Provincetown MA, USA, with only 8% children compared to 25% USA nationally.
