You pay property tax (even if you rent, it's in the rent) whether you have children going to the schools.
Taking on social issues that don't necessarilly impact you yourself is part of the human dynamic of living in a community as opposed to hunting/gathering on your own.

Roads are payed for with gasoline tax....so those that drive more, and use more gas, pay more in taxes....
I can kinda see the school thing...which is why old people are the ones who always vote against mill increases....
but....there is a big difference between property taxes....and asking an individual to pay say $7,000 a year for health insurance or asking one guy to pay $7000 to cover his whole family....
