I propose the third method should be the elimination of the "government rent".
How would you then propose we pay for basic services that are currently paid (in many states) through property tax?
I would assume that you would have an alternative.
I for one do not mind paying a fair and reasonable tax on purchases, including property. What I do mind is a graduated income tax that punishes my success, while allowing those of low income to receive money, from me, due to their position in life (it is OK that they pay zero on income, but no 'tax credits').
I do mind that I do not get a fair return on my tax invested. Thus when bridge tolls double in five years, while gas tax goes into the general fund, I feel I have a right to complain.
