School overcrowding in Florida

A month or so ago, voters in my county passed a referrendum raising sales taxes by .5% for the construction of new schools. Why should I fund new schools when I am not adding to the school overcrowding problem. I was smart enough not to have kids. The people that have kids should pay per child when they register them. If you have ten kids you pay for ten kids. The root of the overcrowding problem isn't that there is not enough money, it is that there are too many kids in the buildings. Make people see the consequences of having kids, maybe they will reconsider it.
