I am going to have to agree with JC and would like to extend his arguement. I think I shouldn't have to pay property taxes to support my local schools, fire department, police department and any other service I have never used. Since I was home schooled I never received funds for my education but my parents had to pay for it out of pocket. I say those little twirps should have to pay their own way. I have never used the police for anything in my life and am willing to take the risk I won't have to so I would like to opt out of that as well. I have fire insurance on my house so if it starts to burn let it I would like to opt out of paying for the fire department. I don't live in a big city and have a very low probability of being exposed to terrorists so I think only people in big cities should have to pay for things like the FBI, CIA, military and such (I opt out). I am a stay at home dad and drive on maybe 10% of the roads in my town so I would like to only have to pay 10% of what I am currently paying. Wait JC your just about to finish school and part of my tax money was used to pay for that I think it is only proper that I and the rest of the citizens who have paid into the system send you a bill. Of course we will need to charge interest starting from around kindergarten so it may take you a little while to pay that off. Hopefully you will only go to a private college that doesn't get money from the state or you may have to pay back the working adults in that state too.
