Pretty depressing. I'm pretty right wing but kids should always be taken care of. I'll happily pay more in property tax to cover school lunches and kids medical

  property taxes go to schools in your own area. would you also support that taxes be redistributed to other areas that don't have enough tax income and where people can't afford higher taxes? because as i see it, that is the real problem in the way schools in the US are funded. (i am hoping/assuming your answer is yes, but i think the distinction is important and needs to be pointed out)

    Honestly my answer is no. I want my property taxes to ensure that my kids get the best possible start. My money supports my kids and those kids that live in my area. I would say yes to paying more property tax to support my local schools to an even greater degree. I am in no way ok with my kids school funding getting reduced to fund other areas. I specifically moved to this area for the good schools. I would be ok with an additional penny of sales tax to fund a statewide program to ensure all kids have access to food.

      You can always give your government (including schools) extra money if you think they need it more than you do, or if you think they can use it better than than you can. Taxes just force everyone else to give the government money.
