Sure, but you get a much more balanced mix of revenues, that are more equitably distributed.

Better for me, my taxes for 2018 was about 10,000.00 less, and in 2017 my taxes were a little more than the 2017 median income.

I found it kinda funny to hear all the complaining about not getting as big of a refund as previous years. Did these people not notice their paychecks were higher because they adjusted the withholding tables? I think they just assumed it was part of the "tax break" without doing any research to see what their individual tax liability would be. After I got my first check early in 2018 and it was around 65 higher I looked into it and made the necessary adjustments. I did end up getting a bigger refund that I probably should have 4.3k and I know I know I know I'm just lending the govt that money. But there is just something that "seems" nicer about getting that 4k chunk. I tend or err on the side of caution anyway.
As for property taxes....I find it funny that many of the people advocating property tax reform are the same people that have been in office. They used reform as a platform during their campaign. Umm..why didn't you address it when you were already in office? The main thing I'm hearing is a freeze and then limit increases to 2.5% a year. Problem is they are too damn high anyway. I bought my house for 115k and it's appraised at 238k now. I have to pay over 5k a year to live in a house I own. It's a real beating.
My dream is to hold on for about 6 more years, sell this house and retire overseas.
