Is it fair for a person to pay school taxes even if they dont have children? |
i have a son so i think i should have to pay, but should a person who chose not to have children be forced to help pay for other childrens education? kinda like taxation without representation. Taxes are like insurance. The expenses are covered by the whole community for the benefit of those who come unstuck. For example, car insurance. I am a good driver and I dont expect to have a 'prang' but if I do, its not going to cost me much. Taxes are a way of communal sharing, every one benefits, ( even those of us who dont have kids ). I don't have kids but I have no problem paying for schools. Those kids are going to look after me when I'm old; I want them to know how to read. not at all Are you serious? So if those people don't want to pay for the education of the next generation, I hope they don't want to be served by a batch of under-educated doctors, politicians, attorneys, business owners, auto mechanics, etc etc. That's like saying I shouldn't pay for a military because we don't have a war in my neighborhood. By the way, those kids will be paying for older people's Social Security. The more they earn, the more they will pay. Kind of evens out, doesn't it? PS -- To the lady below: Even renters pay property tax. It's figured into the price of their rent. Landlords don't give away anything for free. Life's not fair, is it? Taxes are meant for the welfare of people at large and so theres no harm in collecting school taxes even if they dont have children Of course. As a child, we had the priviledge of being educated by others to grow up and support the younger and older generation. Without an educated population, the standard of living will drop dramatically. |
