So, by my math, you have <BR/><BR/>40% favoring keeping property taxes.<BR/>20.9% - replace the property tax with gambling revenues.<BR/>14.85% - replace the property tax by increasing the sales tax.<BR/>7.7% - replace the property tax by reinstating the business inventory tax.<BR/>4.95% - eliminate the property taxes through cutting state services.<BR/>3.3% - replace the property tax with local option income taxes.Doughttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11424730556609713021noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-61477269677017130032007-09-19T06:20:00.000-05:002007-09-19T06:20:00.000-05:00The poll demonstrates the perilous problem:<BR/><BR/>Hate property taxes, can't agree on a replacement.<BR/><BR/>ANY replacement should include rigorous spending cuts. But even if you cut all government budgets in half, we'd still need to raise several billion a year in taxes. How to do it?<BR/><BR/>I favor sales taxes, my neighbor favors income taxes because she's retired and on a fix income.<BR/><BR/>And you know what? We both could be right, and the mayor isn't wrong or right. Campaign seasons tend to bring out the bitter divisiveness in all of us...soon, this election will be history, and broad tax fixes can be viewed in their proper context.<BR/><BR/>I can't wait.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-80867364392279935752007-09-19T04:49:00.000-05:002007-09-19T04:49:00.000-05:00ON, Not me!
