The simple fact that you ask such a foolish question makes suspect all of your other ideas. Have another Duff.

Howso? If one contests that they should be exempt from paying taxes for public schools because their children do not utilize the public school system, an equally valid point should be that people who do not have children (an thus do not utilize the public school system) should be exempt as well.
If that is not an equally valid point, feel free to outline why it's not. But writing it off as "foolish" really doesn't do much to further your cause.
Why should some who do not utilize public schools have to pay for public schools, while others who do not utilize public schools not have to?
