I'm curious, if no one wants a sales tax or income tax because they are broad-based taxes, what exactly is a property tax? Because it doesn't get any broader than a property tax!! We all live somewhere and we either pay it directly (as a landowner) or indirectly (as a tenant renting from a landowner).
I would rather pay a tax that's based on my ability to pay (sales or income) than on somebody else's
guess at what my property is worth!! And yes, spending does need to be controlled better (unfortunately, that's easier said than done).
