If they paid the same sure but they dont.
I have some rentals that just happen to have just adults in them. I of course pay property tax on this. Yet the there are a few other landlords on the street who also have rentals. Theirs are multi family and or single family. All of them have 2-5 kids each. Of course the landlord is paying the property tax and not the renters. So right there alone they are not paying all of the taxes I pay.
Then I also know two of the muli family houses are HUD. That also means that the rent is paid with tax dollars and not the family. Ok according to the landlord one family pays 38.00 a month shared cost. These people also get other public assistance.
All of the kids are going to a finacially bloated public school system with appalling results that are not due to lack of tax funding. Again additional taxes I pay for property taxes and such, true many parents also pay the other taxes that help fund it.
Just sort of sucks.
I am really not anti parent, nor do I feel children should be punished. I just find it odd that as someone without children I get no other perks.
I honestly would not feel so icky about all of this if the school money followed the kids and the parents could pick the school the kid attended.
