What if you're into houses, you don't have a car, don't have a computer, you spend all your money on a nice house. Why should you pay more local taxes than people who pay one-time taxes on stuff (computers, music, clothing#? If we believe rich people should pay more taxes (higher percentage), then we have already established a system for this. Why not making local taxes a fraction of income taxes? Why are lower class people who's only capital is their house taxed on their capital, while rich people who own bonds and stock not get taxed on THEIR capital?
