text: "Today, these amendments have created a double standard for Catholics and other people of faith, who pay taxes just like everyone else but are forced to either choose a public school or forfeit the benefit of their taxes and pay for a faith-based education."
  Every citizen pays these taxes to have an educated public. That is the benefit to all of us. Parents whose children attend the parochial schools, get to have a say in tax increases for the public schools and members of the school board in their communities. Your voice is not silenced.
  All citizens pay taxes that benefit other members of the community directly, and thus ourselves indirectly. We don't get to opt out or request a refund if we are not direct beneficiaries.
