Will government officials give up their salary? What's that? They won't even take a pay cut?? They pay thousands, we pay millions, this is what they want.
Property taxes make you a slave to the state. Pay us in perpetuity or else we take away your home sounds like slavery to me. We need an amendment to make taxes like these illegal.

Property and income tax were allowed for war time, and are otherwise unconstitutional. I think income tax has only been around since about the time of WWI.
Income Tax was at least one thing from the federalist papers I disagree with, I understand government needs funding, but there is far too much waste, corruption, and lack of accountability to people who are paying for everything, and that is we the people, the actual net tax payers.
The founding fathers missed a trick here. The max fixed percentage of tax the Govt is allowed to steal should have been written in the constitution. It should have been a 10% sales tax and that's all.

Hence why we are leaving Nashville.
It’s high time our governments experienced a recession.
Fuck them all. They voted for those people. You get what you vote for.
Gee, just slightly higher than inflation...what exactly are residents who pay getting for 34% more...
Surprise! They get more future tax hikes....
A large chunk of the dem voter base doesn’t pay property taxes. That’s how,
