Government subventions which come from government revenues and taxpayers are the source of tax revenues.  It may be true that local property taxes that fund the junior high school are not being used for the lunches, whereas the federal government’s funds which do come from taxpayers all over the country, with the junior include high those in the town.  Like this example: “There aren’t no such thing as a free lunch!”
