The only problem I have with your post Harry is that they receive "nothing" for their tax donation. They receive a government provided school in their area. Is that school as beneficial as it can possibly be? Depends on the area you live. In my area the school is the center of attention year round. It is the #1 employer. It also helps create and keep jobs. If it wasn't for my HS sports our newspaper would go under. Also athletic gear sold by a local dealer would go under if it wasn't for people buying gear to support the school. Also our local restaurants benefit from increased business during athletic events.

I know this may not be the case everywhere. But it is here. So I don't believe that taxpayers receive "nothing" for their contribution.

Otherwise, I agree 100% with everything you wrote.
