We already have a county income tax, and the state has their income tax, and the state has their sales tax.
There is no excuse for not being able to own my own land. There is no excuse for me having to rent my property from who ever it is that takes my money in exchange for allowing me to stay in my home.
The problem with the property tax amendment is it guarantees the crooks the right to take our money in exchange for letting us stay on our land.
Unfortunately it is a double edge sword. Agree with it and your home tax gets capped, your farm tax capped and business tax capped. But is it right to still have to rent from the state?
Disagree with it as a way to say you are against taxing your property, and the clowns in government will take that to mean you are willing to pay more. They won't hear that we would like to actually own the property that we paid for.
I do remember shutting down Indianapolis when the property rent skyrocketed not too long ago. Maybe we need to do that again.
This vote is a tough one, because it guarantees, one way or another, that we will never own our property.
And what about someone 80 years old in a nice home that they worked all their lives for? Why must they pay any property tax. Any money for police, fire, and maybe even the library should come out of the county tax that they still pay on their retirement income.
