Increasing property taxes can help with making the schools look nicer as well as suburbs more affluent. It prices out the riff raff and undesirables which helps lower the crime rate in a particular area. That’s the only positive I see out of taxes. Everything else is bullshite.

State income tax should be zero as well as retirement. The idea of taxing money that was earned and built by someone for years and years is absolutely absurd. The blue-haired cucks on Reddit can take their pro-state income tax opinions and shove it up their fricking asses.

This won't work on a scale the size of a city.

That's if everyone was taxed equally. The portion that don't pay taxes anyway are not affected if property taxes increase. And that seems to be the portion that is the problem with NO.

Income tax and property tax should be zero. You purchase land, that is yours. You own it. You shouldn't be forced to give government a percentage for property they do not own. Same with income tax. The government did nothing to earn the 30%+ they tax out of my paycheck, especially when the same politicians have zero accountability or financial sense.

Look nicer? Why can't schools already pay for maintenance and cleaning as they are? How does making them look nicer make them better at teaching students?

No, rising property values may do that but simply raising taxes does not. It has the potential to drive away savvy homebuyers leaving to property value decrease and therefore lower tax revenue. Then the only people that will buy the homes are the riff raff that qualify for tax breaks which means even less revenue for schools.
