“It would be nice to simply see a property tax credit for anyone who does not support government schooling...but there again, in a free society we should not have property taxes on privately owned property.”

The best plan would be for all states to be required to put up a non-property tax related education funding mechanism and leave property taxes to fund those things that are actually directly property related like water, sewer. street maintenance, cops, fire protection, etc. This change alone would obviate initiatives like California's Proposition 13 to allow retired people to continue to live in their homes. Take a look at your property tax bill, and you will find that schools are the largest portion of it.

Privatize education. Let sales taxes and commercial property taxes fund fire, police, sewer, trash, county hospitals etc. Achieve a level of public education coverage via charity, private enterprise, churches et al. Socialism and other social pathologies would largely end within a generation.
