What if government school charged tuition based on income? School taxes on **everyone** could then be greatly reduced. It would be greatly appreciated by the poor.

Econ 101 - you can't charge some people more because they make more and then claim they're now paying less.

If people were handed a tuition bill at the government school door, taxes on everyone would be reduced.

But....Yes, those who can afford to buy expensive cars and live in mini-mansions with granite counter tops would need to downsize. The poor and the those without children would not be subsidizing their extravagant living.
