[QUOTE="deleted member, post: 374853, member: 816"] eliminate them on your primary residence? someone touched on it. so, now my business owner, lake owner, farm owning, vacation home owning, etc... neighbors pay for my roads, schools and parks? state sales tax? what do you figure the state, city & county increase would have to be in order to cover what property taxes cover? a part of me says all of them combined would be in the 20% range. can you imagine what sort of a disadvantage that would put north dakota businesses at? especially in border towns. you would literally watch the exodus of business owners and consumers across state lines in real time. also this has been touched on too... property taxes exist in every single state. do you think that's cause every city, county and state government in the country are full of left leaning idiots? no... its cause over centuries, even the best and brightest haven't been able to come up with a better system. believe it or not, we used to have the best and brightest working on these issues. not so much anymore. in fact, i might argue the exact opposite these days. can you imagine leaving it up to those we currently have in government (will be an even higher turnover now) to fix a system that's been developed over 125+ years in a matter of a year or two? talk about FUBAR. i am in the exact opposite as the most of you. i was all for this the first time around. now that i've gotten to understand the system, how it functions and how it came to be the way it is today, i am totally against eliminating property taxes. i think we could fix more than a few things and figure out how to cut spending. but, eliminate them entirely? nope.
