Do you own a home?
Why should apartment owners have to subsidize your mortgage?
The tax system is a trade-off. I'd bet you'd be paying for schools no matter what state you lived in.
Yes, I do. As far as apartments are concerned, the rent they pay helps cover the aprtment's property tax.
But still, it's crap. I get screwed every which way because I'm single and because I have no kids. Put yourself in my position, you would be pissed.
