If you own property, then you benefit from the services provided via property taxes. What would the value of your property be without a local school district? How much would it be worth without roads, sidewalks, streetlights, local parks, sanitation services, police and fire protection, etc.?
This is what’s so messed up about many people who oppose taxes. They have no idea how these tax payments end up benefiting them. [/quote]
I don’t know anyone who opposes paying their ‘fair’ share of taxes, that’s not the issue here.
