    I pay a lot of money in taxes so people with little kids can send them to public schools for almost free. I guess I’m also paying for cops to have jobs so they can beat and torture people with impunity but I try not to think about that. What I’m not paying for is a public library system, because the people where I live don’t value that resource and have never voted tax money for it.

      Why even comment when you know its nothing to do with the actual point of the post?

      Being socially isolated is correlated with depression. Maybe that would be why you’re so bitter and cynical.

      You are paying for the school YOU had, not “for little kids”.

      What it sounds like you are contributing is incessant cynicism with zero effort on your part to actually improve your community.
