> That's how taxes work. I don't have any children, but my taxes fund schools.

I know that's how taxes work. The point is that there's no reason that should apply to purchasing internet.

Even if you think it should be government provided, that doesn't mean it needs to be funded in that way. Many government utilities are billed to the consumer based on usage. There's no real public good in forcing me to pay for other people's internet.
