Lack of thought here. Does anyone think owners just eat the property tax and don't pass it through in the rent to renters? Of course not, no one is that stupid. Renters pay property tax, they just don't pay it directly.
Some folks need to think a little more before they hit the keyboard.
Renters can simply pack up and move at the end of their lease if their rent goes up too much for their liking. Property owners can’t do that with the same ease.
I have given it plenty of thought. eliminate the IRS and property taxes and go to a straight sales tax to fund .gov and I would be onboard with everyone ( US citizens)getting a say in government as everyone would have skin in the game.
