ND Considers Eliminating Property Tax
How awesome would this be?

I would rather pay taxes in some other way (or shrink the size of government altogether) than pay property taxes. With property taxes, you never really own your property.

Girlscouts? Hmmm, I don't know... I think it's kinda dangerous to teach young girls self esteem and leadership skills.
This usually ends up hiking consumer taxes and income taxes.
Mom's comin' 'round to put it back the way it ought to be.
Anyone that thinks war is good is ignorant. Anyone that thinks war isn't needed is stupid.
I've always considered income or property tax the most useless and least equitable way to tax people..... The only tax we should have is a sales tax.

i agree.
That would be nice.
The problem with property tax is that it furthers the false notion that government owns all property and you just rent it from them.
The problem with income tax is that it furthers the false notion that government has the right to know how much money you make (let alone are entitled to take part of it).
Sales and usage taxes are the only fair way to do it ... unfortunately government has ballooned to a size significantly beyond what the founders envisioned to be able to survive on the tiny taxes they should be allowed to collect.
We're going to continue on until the system has a catastrophic failure ... then instead of blaming bloated government they'll blame capitalism and well all end up living in a giant communist prison camp (because capitalism IS freedom, freedom IS capitalism ... you can't separate the two).
Modern liberalism is based on the idea that reality is obligated to conform to one's beliefs because; "I have the right to believe whatever I want".

A World Without Guns <- Great Read!
For the tax revenue ND is raking in, they don't care. ND will profit more per week from every swinging dick patch worker than they would off annual property tax.
The other reason is the more dwellings built the more people that will be spending their pay.

Never happen with the dems not wanting to anger the highest voting bloc.
