Economists are suspicious of asking people what they want. Instead, they prefer to observe what people do.
"Though almost everyone says they want lower taxes, folks are actually moving to places with higher taxes. Since 2010, all the population growth in Indiana has come in just a few high tax counties...people aren’t moving to those places because of high taxes. Rather, they are moving there to access the public services those taxes provide."
Indiana property tax plans
I was hard on Jennifer McCormick when she first put her plan out, but Michael Hicks knows a lot more than I do about the subject, and he says
"The Libertarian tax plan is a protest, not a tax plan. The Republican plan is a campaign talking point, not a tax plan. The Democratic tax plan is a good start on an honest, thoughtful way to deal with the property tax shock we just went through."
