I make too little a year to pay income taxes, and I'd rather pay property tax. The whole concept of the income tax simply unnerves me: it implies that the government owns all you earn.
Infrastructure and everything else. in states with no state taxes,it has to come from other sources,like property taxes.
I see that you are in the 40% bracket,which probably means you are better off than many people,but for lots of us,continuing to pay such high property taxes after retirement,or catastrophic illness,or divorce,for example,would be crushing. At least with income taxes,they go down if your income does.
State roads and bridges,state government buildings and maintenance,jails,all state gov. salaries,expenses,computers,equipment,utilities,fire and rescue,much more.
Ok if yout bracket is 40% you are better off than I am. I cannot pay $5000 a year on a 150k house,and that is just to replace STATE taxes. Federal Reserve is another story,so we agree on that one.
Search and check out: Ron Paul or Dennis Kucinich? P1
This explains the problem of the privately owned Federal Reserve which is allowed to print money to make up for short fall, which creates inflation that the middle class must absorb.
If I didn't have to pay 40% of my income back out in taxes then maybe I could buy property and pay property taxes. He says if he was to live in a high risk place then he should have to pay more for it with insurance. I don't think he could get rid of all the taxes anyway, but the Federal Reserve has got to go, they create inflation which is another tax on the middle class.
Locals dont have the resources or equipment. You will be taxed out the butt locally to try to anticipate regional emergencies,or God forbid,come a disaster,hung out to dry.

Property tax pays for the schools and police department. What about state taxes on all goods where is that going?
