I am hoping we can keep this non-political so it can stay in this forum and not the mud throwing politics forum. Here in Pennsylvania there is growing concern over the increasing property taxes. Legislation has been proposed to completely eliminate property tax and replace it by lowing sales tax from 6% to 5% but broading it to cover more items such as clothes and food. More info here if interested PA Tax Reform Plan Link.
Personally I really like the idea as my property taxes are insane, and I think it is totally unfair that my parents who worked hard to have a nice house when they retired are paying close to $4000 a year in school taxes while the family with 4 kids down the road that rent an apartment is contributing nothing directly to funding schools they use. I was just wondering if any of you live in states wit a plan like this and what your thoughts are, as well as what the other Pennsylvania TFers think.
