Why should couples who have NO kids, pay taxes for schools?

i think its stupid myselfWhy should couples who have NO kids, pay taxes for schools?
For the same reason people with no cars pay road maintenance taxes. It's called community.Why should couples who have NO kids, pay taxes for schools?
jimdemes is right. Heck, we homeschool and I'd LOVE to have the money we pay in school taxes every year to do it. But I have to help educate other kids, too, so they'll take care of me when I'm old and they're doctors and lawyers and members of Congress.
Because our school system helps to improve our economy (if it has enough funding to work optimally and efficiently). An improved economy means that all American citizens benefit from higher wage and better social services, among the thousands of other benefits.
because the government are shite
The same reason why Social Security and Medicare are taken from our pay checks. We are a symbiotic society. We all help one another.
why do people with no cars pay road tax?
For the same reason people who don't drive pay taxes for roads. Although you may not directly benefit from a service, you indirectly benefit from it in many ways. As a citizen of the US, it's your duty to pay taxes for services you may not use directly, like it or not.
Yes, because school would be too expensive for couples with kids. Some would not be able to afford it. Public school also benefits people who never have kids. In 50 years it would be hard to find a doctor or a lawyer because how will they get a college degree if they didn't even go to 1st grade because their parents couldn't afford it.
BECAUSE THEY LIVE IN THE CITY...
Because that couple went to school because some other childless couple paid tax
Even they dont have kids they are members of a community which care about education. Do you think that those taxes are enoough to support even minimum education..?
To ensure that the kids of today grow up to be intelligent, hard working, productive members of society
Imagine two societies, one in which most people have at least a basic education. These people are able to work in jobs and positions that offer the services that we all need to funcion as a successful society. Now imagine a society where half of the people or more do not have a basic education. These people will not be productive members of society, instead, they will become a burden on society, seeking federal programs for economic assistance, seeking money that will be coming out of your pocket anyways, one way or another. Which society would you rather live in?
