It's not the $16 or so for the subscription. It's the principle. I'm not trying to start a political debate. I just want someone to give me a plausible principled reason why I should take responsibility for some other person's inability or non-desire to pay their fair share, especially when we're talking about their kids' future.

You should pay for other kids school because ALL kids need a good education.
They (to be cliche') are the future and if you cannot give a few extra bucks then when it's time for them to take care of you you cannot ***** about they way things are.
It's EVERYONE'S responsibility to take action. We all live on this planet together. Education is the one thing that can help everyone.
I'm pretty active at my kids charter school in Littleton, CO and know what our budget is and where the money goes. Anyone who thinks a school can 'live within it's means' has NO IDEA what it takes to run a school.
Unless you have seen the amount of money coming into a school and have seen the budget, please don't speak to that matter. You don't have the info to make a statement like that.
Anyway, I hate fundraisers too and always find out what the money is needed for and just give a gift. I always give no matter what school comes to the door. It's my moral responsibility to help make sure all kids have the tools needed to succeed. Someday they will be taking care of me.
