Property Revenue Enhancement Update

Every right away i time to a greater extent than inwards writing a spider web log i puts downward an sentiment that is non alone wrong, but pretty plainly incorrect if i had stopped to intend nearly 10 minutes nearly it. So it is amongst the sentiment I floated on my last post that belongings taxes are progressive.

Morris Davis sends along the next information from the electrical flow population survey.


No, Martha (John) belongings taxes are non progressive, together with they're non fifty-fifty flat, together with non fifty-fifty inwards California where at that topographic point is such a affair every bit a $10 meg dollar house. (In other states you lot mightiness live pressed to pass that much coin fifty-fifty if you lot could.) People amongst lower incomes pass a larger fraction of income on housing, together with then pay to a greater extent than belongings taxes every bit a component subdivision of income. Mo says this fact is non unremarkably recognized when assessing the progressivity of taxes.


Part of this is a fleck misleading, because  income is a pathetic concept. Many people amongst depression incomes accept temporarily depression incomes -- run into my S-corp owners amongst losses from the final postal service -- together with don't motion every yr to adjust that year's income. Retired people accept less income together with ain houses. Permanent income or consumption would live much meliorate divisors. On the other hand, I would estimate (despite merely proving how unsafe it is to estimate anything) that housing every bit a fraction of wealth is fifty-fifty smaller for people amongst high wealth than is housing every bit a fraction of income or consumption. There are merely then many houses you lot tin buy.

The total listing FYI.


Mo's website  has a treasure trove of information past times the way.

Let us promise that this does non develop a blueprint for the year. Now I accept my resolution -- halt to intend earlier posting!
