Yes, I agree with your statement that there is “an issue” with property taxes. The issue is: “IT IS CRIMINAL; IT IS EXTORTION; AND IT IS UNCONSTITUTIONAL”.
As you suggested: "A realistic replacement of funding should be considered – something that does not represent unconstitutional EXTORTION of annual income based on arbitrary and unrealized property values assigned by the States.
Once this wrong is righted, then perhaps the rest of your good suggestions could be applied to the newly replaced LEGAL source of revenue, itemizing where funds are distributed.
Right is right…wrong is wrong. Fix the wrong with a right, instead of making the wrong less wrong.
Its time to replace ILLEGAL annual income extortion taxes on fake inflated property values with some other LEGAL form of community income stream. This way “the issue” is resolved. Reducing it or itemizing it does not resolve it. Replacing it resolves it. We can itemize til the cows come home if that is desired; but only AFTER we replace it with a LEGAL and Constitutional income stream. Seems logical enough.
Proof of Unconstitutional Nature Of Home Seizures For Back Taxes:
It gets no CLEARER than that. Ignore socialists who try to twist the obvious, and justify blantent violations of the Highest Law in the Land.
