If everyone benefits from these services, why should property owners have to shoulder a disproportionate share of the burden. WHy should old retired people have to pay so much of their fixed incomes just because the house they bought and live in has appreciated in value? Just because someone owns a home or land that has a good value does not mean they have a high income and can easily afford an onerous property tax. > A sales tax is the fairest way for everyone to pay a “fair share” for the services they receive. Eh… its another good option. They both have their upsides and downsides. Either way, if the government would stop spending our money like MC Hammer in Vegas, everyone in the country would save a crapload of money. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/rendell-ftl/187860)._
