“My children are done with school—why should I still pay school tax?” Americans, man.

It’s crazy, there is zero connection between property tax and the loan someone gets to buy a house. They don’t have anything to do with each other. It’s like saying you shouldn’t have to pay for car tags or toll roads because your car is paid off.

Right? Thank you. I feel crazy reading these articles. Like, do you want your house to connect to roads and electricity and have emergency services and the value of being in a school district.... Do people just forget grade school civics at 70?

You pay property tax because you’re still using the services provided to you by the government those taxes pay for.

“I should only pay taxes for things I use” is a fun precept to adopt after you’ve stopped using services that were funded by the full tax base — you would have needed to pay much much more when your kids were in school if seniors hadn’t been pitching in with property taxes back then!
