Accompong,

Good reasoning. Here where I live property taxes have gone through the roof and every year we are faced with 5, 8, 10% increases yet there is no positive correlation in what the town does for us. The tax increases are to offset deficits that the past 10 administrations have created yet nobody is held accountable for their mistakes. You or me don't pay our taxes we get a lien applied, don't pay the mortgage, foreclosure. It seems universal that those in power can do as they please with the worst case scenario getting voted out of office at which time they have already pilfered and profited at the expense of the average man and woman.
