You obviously didn't get it.
Taxes are supposed to go towards PUBLIC improvements. Schools, roads, fire stations, police stations, police cars, fire trucks, gov't buildings, etc. ALL of those improvements are AVAILABLE and FOR every single resident in the county. To be perfectly honest and if you want to be truly fair about property taxes and what they should and should not go to......the HOME OWNERS should have the biggest say so and use since they are the ones that pay the lion's share of the taxes. Wanna talk about "even" distribution??? How about that? Since I pay MORE property taxes than YOU, then I SHOULD be able to "get" more things, right??? Why not? That's exactly what you and 626 are alleging and fighting for. That's "even" as even can be. You PAY more into it, you GET more out. What's wrong with that?
So the road I was talking about is the 2 way one where you can't have it both ways and PAY less yet WANT more, that road.
Why is that?
No need. My brother lives there. My nephew goes to Alpharetta school district. You know why he does??? Because my brother WANTED the best school for HIS son and he WANTED that area, so he bought a house and MOVED there. End of discussion. He lived in Gwinnett and didn't like the school my nephew went to. He was driving 45 mins each way to work already. Nice area, nice school, moved.....not that difficult.
To be perfectly honest, this is why we ALL should be given the choice as to which school our children attend if we feel our assigned school is not doing a good job in educating our children. Until that happens, picking up and moving is the only choice if you want to stay in gov't schools.
I live WHERE I live for the same reason my brother moved. I didn't like the school my daughter was going to....it was gov't.....so I moved closer to my office and a much better school. Problem solved. If stayed where I used to live, which was a very nice house with nice roads and close to everything, then I only have MYSELF to blame for the poor education of MY children.
If you depend LESS on the gov't to provide for you....shady politicians, bad politics, liberal school teachers, shitty school supplies, and bad education will NOT have such a traumatic effect on your everyday life.
Pull up your boot straps and take control of your own destiny. Depending on the gov't for everything will only make you as good as it is. No better, no less. Is that your only aspiration? If so, then continue your course. If not, then do something about it.
