[quote=Anonymous][quote]This matters a lot. We have lived in the county for 36 years (and counting). We had one child (not Sped or ESOL or FARMS). he spent 13 years in the system. So we have paid for 23 years of taxes beyond that (and I'm sure it will be much more by the time we die). I think we've paid more than our share. Am I complaining? No. But don't say that a neighborhood that has many children is not paying its fair share. It's just a young neighborhood or people paid before the kids hit school. Don't worry. You will pay for what you get. It's just spread out over the years. Everyone benefits from the schools whether they have kids or not. Those kids pay into Social Security at some point and also produce for the whole society. Everyone.[/quote] And, yes, we could move out of the county to try to get lower taxes. The county needs to keep it attractive for older people to stay here too. This can't be a "diverse" and thriving community if everyone over age 60 moves out. [/quote]
