That already happens. Why else would Northrop advertise a stealth jet at the superbowl.
if they vote against a tax levy for a school they will most definitely vote to send the money elsewhere.
Empty nesters or childless people will funnel their tax money to things like parks, fire trucks, and other things.
So I don't pay Israel's defense budget, but that money is reallocated evenly to everything else.
I find it hard to believe a meaningful number of people would opt out of libraries and schools assuming their overall tax burden is unchanged.
