Palin's Cutting property taxes is the dumbest idea ever!! They tried to do it in VA
the end result Not only did they take away a viable tax deduction for a lot of people the ending up Nickle and diming us in ways we could not deduct the tax they raised sales tax they raised the cost of getting a car on the road Drives license renewle inspection, emissions test and in the end the Budget was so damaged Mark Warner had to recend the tax once he got in office to fix the mistakes of the repuke before him.
2. It would have worked if cutting property taxes was the goal all along.
Like all republican tactics, it was a ruse to get everyone onboard for what their real intentions were.
No different then: Clear Skies Initiative (only benefits corporations by allowing them to pump more pollution into the air) No Child Left Behind (only benefits privatization advocates by eroding public education) American Housing Rescue and Foreclosure Prevention Act (really only helps the banks) Help America Vote Act (only helps those making voting machines steal more elections) Patriot Act (We all know about that one)
Gilmore cut real property tax, not the property tax. The tax on cars/boats, etc. NOT the taxes on homes.
Your headline is confusing. And Warner did NOT rescind the tax. He simply halted the phase out of the tax. There is still car tax relief on your car tax bill if you look closely.
