CWC: Is it fair for everyone to have to pay for better school building

About: The difference $21 per person per year can make

Eddie:

What about those of us that don't have kids in Adair County Schools? Is it fair for me to pay taxes for something that does not or will never apply to me or my family or is the act of a local socialist goverment? And I will do as dictated by those who look to the poor and middle class to support their lifestyles.

Thanks, as always, for adding your comments on CM. Your question is on the mind of a lot of people who don't have kids. Many people may have felt that way at first, until they looked at what would happen to the whole economy if we don't do the best we can the kids, and many of them find the tax worth the sacrifice. Some who signed the petition are changing their minds, we hear. And some who've taken a second look at the tax find that it isn't falling unfairly on the poor and middle class, but on the very wealthy, who will paying 100's of times what the poor and middle class will pay for the new schools -EW
