Property Tax Revolution - North Dakota

On June 12, 2012, the voters of North Dakota will vote on Measure 2, a comprehensive state constitutional amendment that, if passed, will abolish the property tax once and for all in that state, such that property ownership, and not rental from the government, becomes their reality.

No, property tax = renting the property from society without which said property would not exist. It is a "ground rent" as Thomas Paine wrote, and "is subject to the Calls of that Society, whenever its Necessities shall require it...its Contributions therefore to the public Exigencies are not to be considered as conferring a Benefit on the Publick, entitling the Contributors to the Distinctions of Honour and Power, but as the Return of an Obligation previously received" according to Ben Franklin

You damn right I'm a liberal. How did 8 years of Bush work for you???? How did 8 years of Reagan's trickle down economics work for you????? Clinton did some bad things, but none of the damage he did even comes close to matching what Bush did. Bet you did just fine in the Clinton era though. How do you think Mitt Rob Me achieved his financial status? Can you say tax evasion through off shore accounts? Please don't say honesty and hard work, he got where he is on the backs of others.

You are singing the same old short sighted song that rich people with more wealth than they will ever be able to consume in multiple lifetimes always sing in order to convince the working man that taxes are bad. There is a breaking point where big oil simply can't charge more money for a gallon of fuel because the work the fuel will do is not worth the cost. The oil companies will keep fuel costs as high as they possibly can and still make buying fuel worth it, taxes or no taxes.

If you raise taxes on "big oil" who do you think PAYS for it? People who use "big oil" products.

If you make those cost of operation higher for them, you will lead to less players in the game and higher costs for everyone.

Your view actually accomplishes the exact opposite of what you desire. You must be a liberal.

I suggest that those services could still be provided by a social business. A company that does not pay dividends to it's investors. I think you would see that you would still have more money leftover.

With the money you saved, you could reintegrate lawyers into a productive and peaceful society, with less paper work for all.
