Property and sales taxes are different taxes imposed by different governments. If my incomes taxes are cut by 10% it is a cut for me. If everyone's federal income taxes are cut by 10% it is a cut, it is tax relief, for all people who pay federal income taxes.

But if you change a tax without making a net cut its not reasonable, and maybe even dishonest, to claim its tax relief.

Who cares which government level has the burden... same thing net. You really need to think a little deeper about taxes. Your understanding is limited and simplistic.

Income tax should be (from your perspective) one of the least onerous taxes. Turn on a light, pay a tax. Make a phone call, pay a tax. Drive your car, pay a tax. On the Internet?; paying a tax. Buy anything, paying a different tax all along the supply line. Every tax based on a decision about what is 'good' and what is 'bad'.

Think a little deeper. Whacking the hedge fund managers is a mild adjustment. And probably justified.
