Personally I'd like to see a tax system that addresses longevity. In other words, the longer you stay in your home, the lower the tax rate. Transfers a more appropriate burden onto those who move or speculate.....addresses those who live by the old "a house is not a home" thing.

Sales tax is a BAD tax as it is toughest on those who can afford it least, and IMO should be done away with completely and immediately.

As far as I'm concerned, our present system makes the underlying statement, "We'll tax you into the poor house and then put you on a program when you can no longer keep up."

And where are the politicians addressing these problems? No doubt in the back pocket of those who are least affected.
