I think childless people should only have to pay a small % of taxes to the schools though. Why should I pay $8k a year for Rashandas 5 kids when she pays only $500?

Because you were once a child who attended school. In that sense, everyone is a recipient of public schools.

It takes half their adult life to recover from the damage.

If I paid for my own education and that of my kids I would get better education for far less money. The system is a scam for everyone except the leaches.

Oh good, this must mean that everyone should be required to send money to the private school that I went to.

Correct, I was, and my parents paid for it. I don't mind paying taxes for school, it needs to be done for sure, I mind paying the same as parents, or in MANY cases more. I don't have kids, never will have kids, and do not deserve to be fucked in the ass once again because Melinda hooked on crack has 4 kids, or in my actual case, the school has decided the way to go is to blow 80k on a coffee shop in their school while the teachers are underpaid and they have a 7 million surplus. Oh... and they SUE people in the neighborhoods to re-appraise homes to make them pay MORE taxes.

Yes, exactly. It's a "first world" thing to educate the populace. We can both claim to be a developed nation and discard public education. Criticism of schools is fair. Could we do better? Yes, and we should. Also, even though I'm child-free, I'd rather pay for public school because I don't want to be surrounded by ignorant people - or followed by hordes of homeless, begging children.
