[QUOTE="SLE, post: 320630, member: 3889"] You want to start boiling the down to the real issues of taxes. It's a system based on the ability to pay versus being based on the services you receive. Make more money, pay more in income taxes but get the same or less benefits than the person or family making less. Work hard, own a nice home, make improvements and keep it up. Not only did you pay tax on those improvements, but now the property is valued higher and there for you pay more in property tax. Mean while, you could have some dirt bags next door that put nothing into there home, run it into the ground and pay a fraction of property tax; all while we drive on the same roads, kids go to the same school, we get the same utilities, police, and fire protection.
