You are apparently taking the gov't POV, that more taxes will solve problems, and it's just a question of who can be made to pay. No I'm not- and I think you all know it. But classifying my opinion in this way makes your position appear stronger. Its kind of like discussing real estate commissions with tradelite, she knows what I'm saying but doesn't acknowledge it. I am not in favor of more taxes, I am looking for fairness first. And I want people that actually LIVE in an area to determine what the taxes/services will be. I don't like freeloaders or people who dump their expenses on other groups. For example, if my neighbors own 3 homes and rent them all... collecting about $7500/mo in rents, and pay maybe $3500/yr in property taxes total, and consistently vote against school measures or other bonds, while their RENTERS keep sending kids to school and straining the system, I have an issue with that. If the owners want to hold the houses empty and not use any services and pay no taxes, fine. But that is not the case as you know.
