user fees and VAT, I do think we need to build more schools

So you want a more centralized method of taxation and distribution? Interesting...

No, of course not. However I have no problem with exempting seniors from having to pay school millage like Georgia does. Here we have Homestead exemptions which knocks off 25k off the value of our home before assessing taxes.

I actually have a problem with that.  Just because they might not see any direct benefit doesn't mean they shouldn't have to support the community equally.  If I don't see a direct benefit to me personally in roads being maintained because I don't have a car does that mean I don't have to pay for that?
^^^^^^^^^^
If only the people who used public schools paid for them, they wouldn't be public schools.
