If you are going to eliminate property taxes you better find another funding source for counties, schools, etc that use it as a source of revenue. Sounds easy, but in reality it is generally just a tax shift. I'd encourage all of you to serve on your local school board or county commission and educate yourself on the challenges they face just like the rest of us.
A few years ago ,about 10, a superintendent of a local school retired @$250,000.00 a year.
Decided to come back, and was paid $ 300,000.00 a year plus his retirement.
That was around 10 years ago.
I wonder how much they make a year now?
Are they really worth that much?
While they program our children to be liberals?
They don't teach shop class or home economics anymore.
They don't even teach history or math anymore.
Wonder what the science classes are like anymore.
They keep replacing buildings every 30-40 years, and building them like a mansion.
I can't help but to think there's an awful lot of waste going on.
No different than any government run entity.
Seems like kids know less after going to school than they learned at home.
