In regards to tax breaks for private schools, or any other public service.
I think that some limited tax break could be implemented which would make
things relatively fair by accounting for income of family and number of kids 
in private school.  Though, it's true that those who (currently) send their
kids to private school can afford it, it is still expensive.  I would, I think,
support tax breaks for college students also (either their families, or them
-selves).  However, I cannot support a total refund of those taxes.

The reason for this is:  People generally desire to live in "good" neigh
-borhoods.  Part of that definition of good is schools, airports, roads,
and other such "general use" things.  If you don't pay taxes to support those
things, you 1) don't really deserve to live in such a neighborhood, and 
2) any such neighborhood that you live in will quickly become "bad".  So
if you find the idea of paying for "other" peoples whatever unpleasant, first 
consider your own property values and personal values.
