I think you would find many people very happy to not have to pay taxes for public schools. Once my own kids get through public school, why would I want to pay to educate somebody else's kids? Older citizens routinely vote against school bond proposals.

Some older citizens have $ troubles of their own, and so vote their own interest.
But others (like grandparents) are strong supporters of their schools.
So I wouldn't want to characterize them as "routinely against...".

How about because someone paid for your education, not just your parents.

This is my problem with corporations getting tax exemptions.
They want their educated employees, but they don't want to pay for the education.
Ummm... maybe not... maybe they do want dullards to pick their cotton.

This is a thread about big versus small government.
