I'd have been happy to have paid much higher property taxes. I didn't post that info to chortle, as you PROJECTED on me, but to show the extent of the problem. In Texas, I'd have been paying $10-20k a year in property taxes.

So you were happy to pay taxes below what your "fair share" was, move away, THEN advocate raising those very taxes you no longer have to pay. Wow, that's real courage of conviction on your part. No one wants to pay taxes. They suck. And if you can get away with paying lower taxes, you will go for it. But even an idiot knows that when you are paying next to nothing in taxes something has to give. By the way, MY taxes won't go up at all if Prop. 13 were to be repealed. But keep believing that I don't pay any. Uh.....your property taxes are figured at some ridiculously low rate...1%....if I remember correctly. That's due to Prop 13.....it put a cap on the tax rate. If it wasn't for Prop 13, you probably would be double the taxes.
