> Taxes should go to your current city/state to run the services there.
Generally, families in rural areas have more children than families in big cities. There should be some kind of monetary compensation (money transfer from cities to rural areas) for the rural areas than produce more people, who then move to cities and contribute to their economy. This Japanese system sounds good.
Why should there be a transfer? Education is already paid for nationally in Japan. Parents pay their taxes while there. The towns are not owed anything. Even if things are a little more murky in other parts of the world, I would be more in favor of nationalizing education than giving wealth to dying towns.
