I was once a landlord, so i know first hand. Different locations have different rates of taxation, so if a property owner tries to recoup a tax increase, his property may be vacated in favor of another property where they didnt raise the rent to cover property taxes.
If you benefit from a service(like you have kids in school), then you should PAY for that!
Because i am correct. Do you pay property taxes? Have you ever paid property taxes? Do you own rental property? Have you ever had to manage properties? What may sound right in theory does not always work in the real world.
I am surprised that someone with such Libertarian leanings would be so in favor of something like property taxes…
