And if people do not have kids, why shouldn't they want teachers who are paid with their taxes to do the same?
You can also toss in the families with a lot of children who use the park far more often than you.
Really, why shouldn't you expect every social program you don't (currently) draw benefit from to be subject to any requirement you want to put on it?
If you don't like welfare, that's fine. Just don't dress up your disdain with arbitrary justification.

that's true...there are plenty of programs we pay for, that probably suffer more fraud, waste and abuse then we would care to find....
for example-look at all the vacation and sick days a teacher gets-they already only work half the year (kids here go 178 days-not even six months worth, with a block schedule, which means teachers only have students 4 1/2 hours a day) and get summer, two weeks at christmas, a week at thanksgiving, a week for spring break, countless other holidays--yet they have high absentee rates, and subs have to get paid to fill in for these missing teachers. the average is that for a child who goes k-12, loses an entire school years worth of 'teacher time' over that 13 year period.
then there's medicare.....oh boy. poster child for fraud.
