Where do your property taxes go?

On a recent visit to the local county tax office, a certain Phalanx editor spotted the following chart, showing just exactly where our property taxes go…naturally any libertarian would be aghast at what the chart shows…roughly 3/4 of the exorbitant taxes levied on the good people of a certain Atlanta suburb are geared toward “education.” And what does that mean? It means the people of Atlanta, like most every other community across America, have thousands of their tax dollars taken from them every year with no voice or input in how that money is used. If a parent, like a certain Phalanx editor, wants to send their child to a private school, they must forfeit these taxes or send their child to a mediocre state run institution of indoctrination, so much for the principle of liberty in America.
