That isn't true, at least in California where we've voted that so much must go to the schools.
And I pointed out that even property taxes disproportionately go to funding services, like courts for the wealthy, than is spent on schools or potholes for the working class.
K-12 gets 44% and Community Colleges get 7%. My math sez that is 51%.

See pg 8

And as someone said, this is just property taxes. CA has a 13.3% income tax on those who make $1M a year that raises a large part of our money and that is spent on the UC (University of California at... ) system.

Here's what my property taxes were spent on.
Please find courts in there. Furthermore, add up the portions that the wealthy do not use (e.g. public transportation or child services) and tell me how much of it is used for the wealthy.
