I got my latest tax bill from the Wake County department of Revenue, and am sad to report that approximately 77% of the Wake County budget is going to the public school system (does anybody know whether or not that figure includes what I’m paying on the ill conceived bonds that were passed in the last election?)

77%.  More than 3/4 of the money Wake County collects goes to the school system.

A school system that I have no use for, and of which is held accountable to precisely nobody.

looking at where my tax money goes always puts me in a foul mood.
