In New York, we also have ridiculously excessive transfer taxes and even a "mansion tax" for property over $1 million. Funny, because in NYC I don't think you could find a property under a million, so you get to pay a nice little "mansion tax" on your 1 bedroom shoebox in manhattan. Nice.
Huh, my dad always says the same thing when it comes to taxes. 10% flat tax across the board for everyone.
Taxes are necessary but anything over combine 15% feels like slavery / people farming
I feel the same way about property taxes. With a sales or income tax, you don’t pay if you aren’t making money or buying something.
With property taxes, how can you even say that you own something? You are really just renting it from the government.

The US had no income tax for the first half of its existence. They are NOT necessary.
