Education should be paid for through grants to the states from the Fed Govt based upon population and to a degree location (it costs more to heat schools in Alaska for instance). It could also be paid for in whole or in part by state sales taxes which all pay into. It used to be, before property taxes, that you could subsistence live on property you owned, but that is now impossible with property taxes. Miss a rent tax payment to the state and they confiscate your land. In the UK, the Crown owns all the land and you just rent it, like a trailer park. Property taxes make you into a renter and not an owner of your property. You don't pay a tax on unrealized stock market gains and should not on property through assessments and property taxes. Don't get me wrong, the money has to come from somewhere, but as is more obvious everyday, we already have sufficient tax money in our country to pay for everything we need to fund and could do so if it was not given away to bribery, fraud, theft and money laundering.

Don't get me wrong, the tax money to pay doesn't have to come from Internal Revenue Taxpayers, but could come from External Revenue Taxpayers. As Spat says, there is no reason to send our money to DC and then only get a small portion of it back. Better that it come from somewhere other than the American public and then get turned over to the the American public at the state or local level for the most part. The closer the money gets to the people, the better it will be spent for the benefit of the people.

Or, and I'm just spitballing here, maybe the federal government shouldn't be taxing residents of states just to take a cut, add some strings, and then give it back to the states ?

Government shouldn't be in the business of wealth redistribution at all.

Agree other than distribution of External Revenue Service money should be given to states and localities rather than any money coming from the People to the Federal Government for distribution to others.
