Here's a basic rule: those desiring a specific good or service should pay for it. Brandon's reform better approximates this rule than the previous tax arrangement did.

I think an incomplete implementation of the rule is worse than not implementing it at all. An enormous number of people under 65 years of age who are not making use of the public schools are getting their taxes raised, all for the benefit of other people who are not making use of the public schools.

And I think you are right. When I look at this, the XIV Amendment keeps coming to mind. One group of people can take advantage of something another group cannot, and on what rational basis?
