That huge tax bill everyone has to pay does and should get everyone's attention, thus keeping the tax payers more inclined in holding towns and the state accountable to the money they are spending. This is a good thing.
My only complaint with the tax structure here is that there is no annual cap on the rate of increase.
Taxing capital gains and income is down right shameful.
The only tax changes I would be in favor of is abolishing the property tax and replacing it with a sales/consumption tax. One or the other, NOT both. I prefer the consumption tax as it's the only fair way to hit everyone across the board equally.
