Was that owner occupied housing owners or all land owners?

Voting in taxes that applied to "thee" but not to "me" was not what the Founders were all about. What was the line about no taxation without representation, or something like that?

Am I missing something? If she’s concerned that the second home owners are driving up the price of property isn’t that a good thing? I.e. higher property values equals higher taxes. And everyone knows higher taxes solve everything!

I suppose if they passed it and it miraculously worked as she thinks it will... And the taxes go down, she can just say, “Hey, our tax revenues are down. We need to increase the tax on second home owners to cover the shortfall.”

In a liberal’s mind every issue’s solution requires more taxes.
