I own my property outright and it pisses me off to no end every six months when I get that bill, but I cannot advocate for shifting that tax burden to income tax. Who benefits the most from this? It is the boomers. GenX and younger are working their asses off to pay for their and their parent's indulgences. Enough of shifting the burden to benefit them.

We have a litany of problems:

  1. Too much financial capital chasing returns.
  2. Government spending and corruption.
  3. Too many welfare benefits.
  4. Too high property taxes and income taxes.

Instead of fixing any of that, let us move these deck chairs around on the sinking ship. The public will think we are doing something.

Or schools can go fuck themselves and go private and compete for the money.

Property taxes act as a "filter" to keep the niggers and other undesirables out. Abolish the income tax instead.

I'd much rather see the income tax go away.

Abolish the state and local income taxes. I fill out FOUR returns a year. Income taxes also destroy what little wealth the rank and file can get.

EDIT: While we're at it, abolish HOAs and time shares. Both are cancers of the real estate market.

I heard the property tax would be replaced by additional sales taxes.

I haven't seen that, but that would be more fair than property taxes. I wonder if they'd start taxing food like TN does.

Do it. Then abolish the IRS.
