Well, the administration of schools is out of control in a lot of places, IMO. There are so many schools who employ large numbers of principles that suck up the pay of two or three teachers (and don't we always hear that teacher pay is too low?). A high school will have a main principle, a vice-principle, and several assistant vice-principles. They all make big bucks compared to what I make as an aircraft electronics technician...and I'm not impressed with the educational level of kids these days at all. Also, so many people are willing to pay those high taxes to live in supposedly nice places. However, at some point the taxes become so onerous, and the return you get on your taxes in the form of services is so abysmal, that pretty much anyone who can, moves out. What happens to a city where people abandon it? Look at Detroit. Taxes may be a "necessary evil", but there are limits to everything.

“I contend that for a nation to try to tax itself into prosperity is like a man standing in a bucket and trying to lift himself up by the handle.” ― Winston S. Churchill
