Property taxes are an affront to the concept of private property

ENCNow

Such taxes are not only an affront to the concept of private property, but they have now become such a burden to homeowners that some Republicans are leading a movement to dramatically reduce or abolish them altogether.

Property taxes have been rapidly rising in recent years as the appraised value of houses has skyrocketed. This development has been particularly devastating for middle-class Americans, who must pay these taxes year after year despite having never sold their homes.

With the City of Washington's outrageous 28% property tax increase this year, getting rid of them entirely is a great idea. But for revenues, something else would have to be taxed, and the most likely thing there would be consumption through a sales tax or VAT. We also ought to have a cap on local taxes so grasping politicians like the Sadler regime do not clobber taxpayers the way they have this year.

NO politician currently in office in Washington city government should be returned to office. They all are complicit in the tax ripoff and they all need to GO. Lets clean house in Washington in November. The city manager who proposed this outrage also needs his walking papers. Throw the rascals OUT.
