I would like to see the property tax dropped in favor of a consumption tax, too, Andrew. Unfortunately, right now I don't see it happening. (I've seen at least one recent article with members of Nebraska's state government patting themselves on the back for "major tax reform")

But--if it should generate "too much tax" (as you are concerned), if we should ever succeed in swapping property tax for a consumption tax, we should make the effort to put a cap on government's ability to keep the excess.

Good or bad, we will never know, because nothing of substantial impact will ever be done, especially on property taxes in NE. I love this state, but property taxes will probably drive me out of state eventually.

Change has to come. Nebraska keeps shedding more people because it is not competitive regarding taxation.

To my fellow commenters: I beg of you, check out EPICoption.org. We have done our homework, and our website shows how our proposal will work. It is the opportunity we have now to eliminate property taxes. If you do not join the effort to get rid of them, how can you complain about property taxes or anything else you refuse to fight?

Andrew, Whether or not he was quoting it from someone else, the fact remains that Klaus Schwab's reiteration of that idea isn't something that the rest of us can live with.

Klaus and his co-conspirators want to wipe out all but 500 million people worldwide.

They will go to any lengths to achieve it. If that means putting you and yours out on the street with nothing to eat but bugs, that is what they're willing to do. This is why we need to find ways to stop them.
