THEY put thier kids in the private school, not the government, not the average citizen. So why should everyone else pay more because you elected to not use services provided to you?

Im sorry but after reading this again I just had to comment. This statement seems to have an inherent logical contradiction. Not to be rude but I think you need to read over what you wrote and think about the logic.
Ill just make two points.
As a parent do I not have the right and the responsiblity to provide my kids with the highest quality education I can possibly give them? So as you said since the public system is so terrible wouldnt it make sense to send them to a private school that is proven better? I think thats what a parent who cares would at least TRY and do.
Who wouldnt want to use a school system that they are already paying for? Who would want to spend more money just because?
