Property tax ... It would stay as is, with one ammendment. All non-profit orgs must pay as well. Churches, ARC, everyone.
City and Parish/County Taxes - they keep sales tax, and property tax (a cut).

This has always bothered me because I, as a home owner, pay property tax. However Miss Johnson with the six kids, whether she is on welfare, living in the projects, or renting, does not. Therefore I, who do not have children, am paying into the school tax and she, with 6 children, is not. Thus the reason to rid of property tax and converge it into the sales tax. This way everyone pays.
I do not have a problem paying property tax. I just have a problem paying the school tax portion that makes up 80% of my property tax.
