Only way to make a fair tax system is to make it flat across the board. If the town budget is X then the number of taxable properties in town are totaled pay an equal share of X.

Property taxes should be growing no more per property than the increase in the budget as voted by the towns people. So if the towns people vote in say a 2% annual budget increase then nobody's property taxes in town should increase more than 2% to cover that increase. BTW that includes reductions in the town budget as well.

The trouble with the system as it is now is that there are far too many who are reaping pubic benefits they are paying a mere fraction for and instead of being grateful they DEMAND more, thinking that it's free money. Well no it's not and it's about time everyone equally shares the load.

BTW anyone 65 and older should get a 25% reduction in thier property taxes, period across the board regardless of income.
