But we where all born into this tax whether we want it or not so we are stuck unless we change it.
Shouldn't it be my choice to select a school for my kids (or their choice) and should it not be MY choice whether I want to pay into a system I dont use? Thats where the "complaining" comes from the private school poeple.
This is really a fundamental difference between the "right" and "left" ways of thinking.
BTW, I dont have kids yet.
Anyway this topic has really gone off tangents but in a good way! Its good mental stimulation since there has not recently been any big news on the Camaro.
One thing I think we all agree on, we want us a New Camaro!

So, is it still on topic if we mention the camaro in the post? lol. Yes we all agree that we want a camaro, regardless of our way of thinking, be it left, right, or wrong.
back off topic . . .
I might be off on some of the details here, if I am wrong on my assumption than ignore my argument. . . everthing I am stating is based on the assumption that water is supplied municipally, the treatment, pumping, and storage locations are funded through taxes. Therefore, everyone pays for it and it is availible to everyone. Some people choose (and they have every right to make this choice) to drink bottled water. Some may even go so far as to brush their teeth with it, wash their hands, their dishes, etc. Thats getting pretty far out there, I'll admit, but bear with me. Lets take it to the extreme and say that all the water that they consume in their home for any purpose is bottled.
Do they still need to pay for the public water system? Yes they do because there are many other indirect ways that they make use of the municipal water supply. From production facilities to public institutions to business. In all such cases they consume water and you make use of their services. You aren't always using water directly from them (except in the case of the fire department maybe) but in many cases they could hardly function without the municipal water system. Now how much more obvious is this when it is education and not water?
