Re: Eliminate Property Taxes?

It's because you're making a logical argument and they're making an emotional one.

But we passed on several locations due to the fact that the property taxes (+ MUD taxes some had) would have been more (if spread out over a year on a per month basis) than our mortgage payment. In some cases, significantly more. So I wouldn't mind seeing them eliminated. But what concerns me more is, what will be the 'replacement' tax revenue stream. No way government will do the same with less money.
There are several possibilities. Increase sales tax so everyone pays their fair share. Reduce services to a level consistent with capitalism instead of socialism. Both would be great but I don't see it happening when parasites can vote to suck more blood, sweat and tears from the productive members of society.
