The article was about income tax, silly.
The states keep raising taxes because they've lost so much property tax revenue because of the financial meltdown. Have you been sleeping?
Seems you are quite misguided, again. Or you just make things up.
Property tax is not at all the issue for the states. The owner of the property, be it the one who has a mortgage, or the mortgage lender, pays the property tax. If one defaults and the bank takes it over, theybank pays the taxes for the property.
States are losing out on state income tax, state payroll tax and state sales tax becuase of high unemployemtn and less consumer spending
Dubov: Foreclosures still a problem : Seminole Beacon - Tampa Bay NewspapersWhen values drop, it results in lower tax bills if cities dont increase millage rates and last year Seminole didnt increase millage, said Dubov. But it will get tougher to do for all municipalities across the county.
Apology accepted.
And post will be deleted. I did not see you meant it from that standpoint. I was wrong.
Thanks for accepting my apology.
