This brings out the curmudgeon in me.

I won't even begin to add up all the taxes I have paid over the years to
support the school system and I don't have any kids. I am a strong
believer in in a good education system so I don't mind, but I really
bristle when kids have to raise money for things like music and sports
because I believe they should already be a part of the school budget.
