[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, I'm going to blow your mind here. Not only do I send my kids to public when I could afford private because I believe in supporting public education, I use the public library even though I could afford to buy all the books I want because I believe in supporting public libraries.[/quote]

Everybody pays taxes. Using up those resources doesn't mean you "support" public schools and public libraries any more than the rest of us.[/quote]

It actually does. In the case of public libraries, funding is typically dependent upon use statistics. The more people who use a library, the more funding it will get. The more funding it gets, the more money it has for acquisitions, to keep open for longer hours, etc. If not enough people use a library, it will be at risk for funding loss and even for closure. People using public libraries even if they can afford to buy their own books helps keep the library accessible with a better collection for everyone.[/quote]
