Because you benefit from living in a community of educated, socially adjusted citizens. That is the goal of public education no matter how much they bungle it up.

I think all homeowners should pay the same fee no matter the size, location of your home. The problem now is poor people always vote for a property tax increase because it does not affect them. Let everyone pay the same and it would be more fair.

Perhaps we should consider expanding ypour proposal. All automobile owners should pay the same insurance costs, no matter what they drive.

I have no kids. If I have kids, I intend on homeschooling them. I was homeschooled. School boards can't handle cash correctly. I shouldn't have to pay for my neighbors kids. Yet I am forced to pay? What is this? It feels like I am in some horrible socialist-communist state.
Also, if I buy property, why should I pay the rest of the things associated with property tax on a yearly basis and not just pay it in full when purchasing, or have it included with a mortgage? Why am I constantly obligated to pay property tax every year? What would I do if I wanted to retire?
If you have no kids what do you need money for anyhow?
