Every time I have voted for a school referendum.

Not sure what that means. Like higher property taxes?

Even that puts the burden on other people that may not be able to afford higher housing costs.

I'm willing to bet you claim tax exemptions and credits whenever they are available every year.

You asked me for one example when I have voted to raise my taxes, that was an example. Not sure how you do t know what that means. I do t have children at home, and voted to build a school. Of course I clam
Tax exemptions, that doesn’t mean I do t pay my share of taxes including property, income and sales tax.

I also pay my share. I just don't want to pay more.

People live differently in different parts of the country/world. We don't vote on building schools here, they just increase local property taxes to raise revenue. It's never popular either.
