People shouldn't be taxed by their affluence. Or their property's market value. I don't mind giving people at the top a bit more load to carry, and the people at the bottom a little less. But basing that on the property's market value is horse ****.We've decided that property ownership equates to wealth with the current property tax framework and that is the primary problem. If a homeless, jobless person inherits 10 acres of property the government suddenly sees him as wealthy and drops a tax responsibility on him. Can't pay? Well darn, I guess we'll let one of the Sheriff's buddies buy it at the auction next year. Tough luck citizen, all this tax fairness caught up with ya.
