We need to ‘wall off’ our money by real property and middle-class income tax caps in the state and federal constitutions.
The battle in the legislatures to get these caps will gain Republicans votes come October.
Fighting against such caps will cost Democrats votes.
The Republicans in Congress should try to send to the states a constitutional amendment that would cap middle class property taxation, such as:
Taxation on any residential property of less than 2799 square feet of finished space shall be no higher the 2019 dollar amount on the property, or for a newer or since resold property what a similar property in the same area would have been taxed at for 2019 if it lacked owner specific tax breaks, increased by 3% per calendar year since 2019 and by any percentage increase to its finished living space.
Fighting for such a property tax cap now in Congress would add the electors of several deep blue states to Trump’s total and make Congress turn deep red come November.
Even devoted Democratic voters do not want to get taxed out of their homes.
