The reason we have property tax is to pay for schools. Since the people that have kids can't be expected, for some reason, to pay for their own offsprings education property owners are stuck with the bill.
I pay over $1,000 a month to educate the children of others.
Also this isn't a hidden tax. Anyone purchasing real estate knows there is a yearly tax on it. Not paying would make those that do pay have to cover their shortage. How is that fair?
