<<most of property taxes go to support schools. the schools are self serving.>> This year I'm getting nipped for $14,860 in property taxes. 68% of that goes to schools. Never had any kids. Now the guy down the road who has 5 kids pays $90 a year because he lives in an $80k double wide. I live in a rural area and the bus service for the kids is door to door. The driver waits until the kid is in the house. I suggested they might have one stop every square mile. Cut the number of busses by 75%. Give the little fat kids a little exercise. People howled like coyotes. Our kids will be raped. I walked 3 miles and never had a problem.
