This is what is wrong with property tax. You work all your life to build an estate, all the while struggling to pay for it. When you get to retirement age you run head on into the reality of your misconception. You do not own anything, They allow you to think so as long as you keep paying the property taxes.
Your lifelong struggle goes for nought if you retire with enough to live on but not enough for the property taxes, thanks to the ineptness of taxing entities fiscal policies, and the infamous power of the appraisal districts.
Think about it. Your lifelong struggle was a wasted effort. You really do not own anything. What you paid for all those years was the right to use it as long as you stay in favor with the taxing entities. There is something wrong with that.
A consumption tax works like the fuel taxes. You only pay them if you buy the product. In that case you have a choice. With property taxes you have no choice. When destitute, the social programs will not work for you either, unless you have the correct last name.
This needs to be changed. Will it? When was the last time you had a politician act responsibly with tax money?
