Yea, property taxes are a very sore subject with me too. Why do I have to pay school taxes now when all my children finished school 30+ years ago and don't even live in this state?
No kids ever.
My school taxes this year will be $9500, or within pissing distance of $800 a MONTH!
My idea has always been:
- a base tax for everyone, and make it based on something that is quasi ability to pay, not the value of my freaking house
- if you have kids in school, you pay a user fee, until the kid graduates, or turns 18, whichever comes later, after which the user fee goes away
The beauty of that plan is the folks that are causing the need for a service are paying more for that service, while we all share some of the pain for educating the next generation of burger flippers.
Logical, but with absolutely no chance of this happening; more breeders than childless freaks like me.
