    Default Boat taxes

    So since duct tape is standing up for the citizens and all, why do 85% of my boat taxes/property taxes go to a public school me or my family do not attend???

    Don't take it personally, I think taxation without representation is all good. What a crock

    Property taxes are a local tax. They fund local government. That includes the school buildings.

    The state sales tax and income tax fund the employees of school, buses and supplies.
    Either write things worth reading, or do things worth writing.

    You should get a tax break for private school. I imagine there are many good reasons you do not use public school that are no fault of your own.

    They gots to have new school building to learn bo.

    It's truly amazing how a private school can get by on older buildings but public schools have to be replaced so often. It must be different builders.

    Even Charter Public Schools that are not bound by the bureaucracy of the school district outperform traditional schools by Leaps and Bounds, both fiscally and academically.

    What are y'all doing with the rest of it then? Because you sure as shit aren't allocating much to those things, schools are terrible, busses suck and teachers are way underpaid.
    Yeah, but do you consider a dog to be a filthy animal? I wouldn't go so far as to call a dog filthy but they're definitely dirty. But, a dog's got personality. Personality goes a long way.

    I am fortunate to live in a district with great schools but $1500 for boat taxes is highway robbery.

    That’s by county. Not all of us are that lucky. I was in a county like that 4 years ago. Moved to summerville only to get taxed on boats that I hadn’t ever paid property taxes on.

    Hell don’t feel bad Greenville County sent me a bill on a boat I’d sold 5 years earlier and hadn’t lived in the county in 10.
