Public schools only improve or depress the value of a home when comparing public school districts. If only those with children in school paid for the schools it would not effect the value of homes.
My point is we pay for things we don't personally use, nor get a direct benefit from, but it is not in any way immoral. It is only immoral if you assign immorality to it, not per se immoral.
Here is the question of the day, does anyone think that wealthy people should pay a lower percentage of their income to taxes than middle class people? Don't argue tax brackets, just a simple question. Do you think someone earning 46 million dollars should pay a lower percentage of their income than say someone earning sixty thousand?
