Granted the USA tax system works rather different from what we are used to here, but as far as the school funding goes that is exactly what the case used to be in the late 18th/early 19th century here and it was commonly understood at that time to be dysfunctional at best and the country better off for nationalising education as soon as possible....
In most cases, the money does not go into a big pool. Water and sewage is paid for via a water and sewer bill plus applicable taxes.
