From that particular perspective, property taxes may be the fairest of the tax “flavors” since it is directly tied to your place of residency and can be localized based on the public services in your area. And indeed, this is largely how New Hampshire functions, though they do also have some other revenue such as excise taxes.
I don’t oppose property taxes at all, I just oppose they way they’re used for funding an area such as for schools. This method insures the poorest zip codes have the worst schools.
I think billionaires should cough up the cash and pay it all. Besides, we are in a thread about how that money was misused, so how can you actually expect me to want to pay… for… documented… misuse… of funds.

Kinda crap if you ask me.

It really should be one big pot split up, and nothing for sports.
