I would even support a 1% sales tax on groceries if it would help eliminate property taxes.
Dumb idea.
That so regressive as it impacts the poor much more than others. Why would you support other people to go hungry?
Rea supports regressive taxes like this because Republican Boomers are deeply selfish people.
This is an INSANE proposition. Republicans are going to DESTROY Indiana.
“What if we told people we were saving them money, but actually would be sucking way more money out of their pocket through new taxes? Simultaneously, we can destroy the capacity of local governments to provide basic services and make them more susceptible to economic shocks, destroying community resilience. Wouldn’t that be great?”
– Indiana GOP
What this does is pushes the burden of government services onto the back of the working people who don’t have the financial ability to own a home. The people least able to handle an increase in sales taxes and the small service businesses would then have to change their structures and be responsible for taxes that they currently don’t have to deal with. Homeowners and business owners have the most to lose when it comes to their properties. And the public services that are paid for with property taxes include police and fire. You want to do something to shift the burden of paying for those services, then stop giving huge tax breaks to companies to lure them here. Lure them here with the promise that their tax dollars will support the community in why they operate, so that their employees have a better quality of life. Just one more trumplican ploy to shift the burden from those who have the most to those who have the least.
Well said
Two ridiculous propositions, IMO.
Let’s add closed primaries to gerrymandering of safe districts to be sure that only the most radical far ends of the political spectrum can get nominated, then almost assuredly elected in the general election. Personally, I’d like to see us figuring out how to make it even possible for centrists to get elected anywhere.
Eliminating the longstanding institution of property taxes will wreak havoc on local governments in addition to burden shifting. I think people need and want at least 90% of the services that their local governments provide. Why put them through the inevitable chaos and uncertainty of a major funding shift? I just don’t believe the system is so radically broken that it should be scrapped.
Two decades of Tea Party and MAGA politics have convinced the Indiana GOP convention that all government spending is waste, fraud, and abuse. They’ve moved ever closer to the the freak libertarian ideal of abolishing government by defunding it.
