TAXES: GOP is confused

When did using the government to make someone else pay for the services that we expect and use from the government become a Republican position, rather than a socialist one?

Yet, this is what some Republicans in Boise have proposed. Removing property taxes from property owned by homeowners (that help pay for the services they use) and forcing businesses and non-owner occupied apartment structures to pay the cost of providing government services to homeowners.

While homeowners do want to see lower tax bills, those with integrity don’t support making renters and businesses pay for the government while the homeowners get a free ride.

Why would Republicans be pushing this kind of “make someone else pay for my share” concept?
