Citizens or permanent residents only, huh? Okay.  Let me offer you a few insights into your fine immigration system that classifies people into more boxes than the holy triad of citizen, permanent resident, illegal:

1. My household, two G4 employees of international organizations, here for 10+ years, children in FCPS.  [b](Free Loader)[/b]
2. My neighbor, programmer in H1B status, here for 5 years, children in FCPS. ([b]He/she actually pays into the system)[/b]
3. My gym class buddy, officer at XXX embassy, A2, here for 7+ years, children in FCPS [b](Free Loader)[/b]
4. And [b]thousands more just like us[/b] with children in FCPS.  Yes, we are here legally.  No, we don't have green cards.  Some of us pay taxes. [b]Some of don't.[/b] Yes, our children go to FCPS.[b](some are free loaders just like you, some are not just like your neighbor - you are the one who try to muddy the waters)[/b][/quote]

You would not be blowing up the roof if you are not a free loader, taking advantage of a system that are paid for by others. Now you are telling me you do not understand what it means by paying into the system? Tell you what, if you pay a property tax, commonwealth of Virgina Income Tax - that's how you pay into the system.

Where in hell did you get the self-righteousness that you are entitled to having someone else pay your expenses? Why don't you move to other countries and see if you can enroll your kids in their public school for free?

You know, passion is not an argument, we are having a civilized discussion here.  Let's take up your definition of "paying into the system".  Households like mine pay property tax but no income tax. So, do we pay into the system or not - in your definition?

As to where we got our sense of entitlement - I guess it comes from international treaties, to which your fine country is a signatory, that exempts people like us from some tax liabilities.  You, too, can become a foreign service officer, move to Denmark, and pay no taxes. [/quote]
