“He is now trying to eliminate the income tax and shift it to property taxes. Not popular. But what it does is take money away from bureaucrats. Hoo hoo you should see how the hospitals and other agencies are fighting having their gravy trains dry up.”
How does paying more property tax help the average Joe. And how does it take money from bureaucrats? And what does this have to do with hospitals? Thanks.
By shifting funding over to property taxes, and the reluctance of towns to increase property taxes will cause a downsizing of the budget.
Less money means less the bureaucrats and hospital corps have to spend and run. Most of the state is taken up by a few healthcare corporations that have hospitals and other healthcare entities as sub corps. These large corporations suck monies from the state and eliminate competition.
The state and the country as a whole are prisoners of healthcare laws that are insanely difficult, such as the interpreter laws that make the healthcare entities responsible for the communicating with a non English speaker.
Big money in big healthcare and its bosom buddy, big insurance.
