Seems to make a good argument for an income tax IF there could be an agreement to proportionately reduce property taxes. And that will only happen in my dreams!
I think a sales tax would be better than an income tax but adding another tax doesn't guarantee that property taxes will go down!
Give the State more money and they will find a way to spend it all!
