House Democrats announce plans to end Trump's tax giveaway by raising taxes on corporations

29. My property taxes are $1200 on a house valued just under $200K

I do live in a rural township. As far as services go, our roads are plowed in winter, our trash is picked up and we have a beautiful township park. Don't feel like we are missing out on very much

We do have a tax provision here that only allows property taxes to raise the amount of inflation since you first moved in. Since we have lived in the same house since 1993, the taxes aren't linked to current market value. Someone here with a $10K property tax bill would be in a Mcmansion.

Our state funds public schools with $8000 per student, so I'm not sure why you think they are underfunded (especially compared to your $2600 figure)

I myself attended public schools (including a few years in an inner city urban district) and graduated from a well respected private engineering university, so not uneducated.
