Here in Pennsylvania we're very hopeful there are enough conservative votes (at LAST !) to eliminate the property tax as a government indoctrination funding tool and go to a sales tax increase of one percent.
Old people with no stock in what the governemnt indoctrination centers are producing will no longer be forced to fund anti-American indoctrination.
Why should I pay for kids' indoctrination that come out with no political compass, no moral core values, no definition of sexual self and a complete disregard for the USA ?
Agreed totally! I hope it passes.
NJ needs that solution (getting away from property taxes to fund public schools); it is a huge disincentive for childless people to buy homes when our property taxes are highest in the country (again), and while tenants do pay a portion of their rents towards property taxes this does nothing when rent control comes into play. Sales tax would be better; everyone would pay. Right now, we are moving towards a scenario where the older Americans who own homes are increasingly distinct and separate from the (often foreign) population using public schools.
