Property tax the most unfair tax of all
A reader argues property taxes are the most unfair burden, criticizing local real estate levies as a confiscatory tax on indebtedness. The letter cites a dairy farm case where a $300,000 FHA loan leads to $3,200 in annual taxes, arguing Uncle Sam effectively owns 95 percent and the farm is paid through three costs over years.
