The payroll tax will provide the same revenue, with the burden placed more on large businesses. . . . property tax relief is more important right now.

I'm sure you agree that taxing certain behavior discourages it. Why then, would we want to place a tax on jobs?

That's not an absolute. Taxing necessities does not discourage that behavior. A tax on breathing for example would not cause mass asphyxiation.

I'm not for a payroll tax, I'm for property tax relief, and I'm willing to fight the battles one at a time.
