That is so very true. Yes property taxes. However, Texas is talking about eliminating them. Reason being in my opinion why should I pay a tax on my private property every year when I own/mortgage it?
Now there is one caveat I'd like to add. I don't want all property taxes done away with. I think a small property tax upon sale is fair like .5/1% of value. And I think 'corporations are people my friend' (Have a Fitt Raw Money said that sometime in 2012) should have to pay yearly because they are a corporation. I'm not proposing something arduous by any means, but medium to large corporations need to contribute to the communities and cities they do business in. It is only fair.
Now you might say what about small business? That is a good point. If you have employees after a certain amount I think a small not arduous yearly tax is fair. Something like 1-2%.
But they'll say how to finance schools. I say a small 1% sales tax on everything but food/medicine would be fair.
The government shouldn't be taxing homes and small businesses every year and if they don't pay they are confiscated. It is just not fair.
