    Because when it exists in wealthy districts it not only primarily serves to makes sure none of the filthy poors in other districts benefit from their taxes, it’s even targeted within the district, as the middle and lower class residents will be using public schools and the truly wealthy will be sending their kids to private schools and demanding a tax credit for doing it, even if the local area is funding it with the sales taxes they don’t even pay into.

    Plus it’s just a self defeating tax scheme in the first place. You don’t want to discourage local spending or encourage people traveling to other areas to avoid it.

          …because you’re perplexed by common social situations? I don’t mean to be rude, but you should have known from my response that my question was directed at a particular person… because it was about their personal experience. Honestly, having to explain this is kind of embarrassing. : / With all the love and respect due,
