Yes, however: (1) property taxes do not fund the entire school budget in most states and (2) states spend money on a great deal more than just schools.
If anything, it should be a flat tax.
Um, isn't sales tax already a flat tax? It sounds like you're describing the simplified internet sales tax agreement mentioned in the article...is that true?
- ericd 16y agoSales tax is a flat tax within a state, but it's wildly variable from state to state - Delaware has none, Maryland has ~6%, NY has over 8%. I think a percentage agreed upon by all states is probably the agreement they mentioned, but I don't think they had enough detail to confirm it.
