PROPERTY TAXES: Taxation without representation
Home ownership is impossible in Idaho. The county bureaucrats get to decide when they can confiscate any real property for not paying property tax. Kootenai County starts that process only after a would-be homeowner is behind in tax payments. As democrats complain about affordability, they ensure homeowners are not homeowners and would-be homeowners are a minority.
Idaho leads the nation in personal individual freedom. Let’s make sure that continues by abolishing property taxes on would-be homeowners. The teachers’ unions know only property owners are in their way to larger budgets. They try, and try, and try, with special elections if needed, until they get the increase in property tax they demand. Having a built-in majority is why the teachers’ unions get their way. Sales tax spreads the cost among everyone when they buy anything. Imagine the feedback the schools would receive about their accomplishments if everyone is paying their bills instead of a selected minority. That might demonstrate epresentative democracy.
