So where will the money come from to pay for local services? The State? The Federal Government?

In my area of Ohio at least, we vote on tax levies. Some proposed levies have failed to get enough votes to go into effect over the years.

You don’t like property taxes, so propose an alternative where the people still have a direct input.

“...Property Taxes need to be totally eliminated. They are nothing more than Governmental Theft!!...”

Yep, we call it “legalized theft” around these parts.
The “You Will Own NOTHING And Be Happy” crowd loves em and wants suck more and more “blood out of the turnip” every single year. In many cases, it becomes unsustainable for the property owner, and people have to sell the home they’ve lived in for years....just ain’t right.
Of all the taxes that have been leveled on the “unwashed masses” by their fellow man, property taxes, by far, are the most insidious, abused and evil of the bunch, especially for the elderly.
IMHO, IF one is fortunate enough, by the grace of God, to live to 70 years old, they should be exempt ANY TAXES of any kind. They’ve paid enought their whole working lives and then some...

My property taxes pay for garbage pickup, recycling pickup, and much more.
