Property tax is anti-american. One of the basic tenets of being a free person in this country is the concept of ownership of private property. Property taxes negate that, because if i do not pay my property tax, the government will take my property off of me, so in effect i am just renting it.
Flat income tax…the more you make, the more you pay
Sales tax…the more you spend, the more you pay.
Both are a LOT fairer than property taxes, ESPECIALLY when it comes to funding schools. How is is fairer for someone who owns a home and has no kids to pay $3000 a year in property taxes to a school district, while a person renting with 2 kids in the schools pay NO taxes to the school district?
