You are correct that education is funded by taxes. I don't really think anyone was disputing that.

I don't see your point. Some taxes are levied and collected by the Feds, some by states, some by local municipalities. They are all taxes, and none of them is adjusted downward because someone does not use a particular service funded by the tax.
Nobody was disputing anything. I was explaining why "old goats" who don't go to school, or have children who attend school, still have to participate financially in paying for schools.
