Have you ever asked yourself why homeowners in The Villages have to pay school taxes? This tax has no tangible value to seniors, especially those living on a fixed income, so why do we have to pay it? Most likely if you owned a home in another location, had school age children the paying of school tax was ingrained in your mind as having a benefit for you, but paying the school tax now as a senior has no benefit than I can see other than taking money out of my pocket.

I understand The Villages has a great school system, however in all honesty I don't care simply because paying for other peoples children's education is metaphorically taking "food off my table". As a senior who no longer has the ability to increase my income I feel this is a fair way of protecting my lifestyle in light of constant increases is goods and services.

I'd be interested in hearing some feedback on this topic.
