Y'all realize that we have 50 states and no two of them use the same taxing formulas or even have comparable types of taxes.. You have to balance RE taxes with state and local gas taxes, personal property, license plates, vehicle title fees, state and local sales tax, and a myriad of other taxes, both state and local. I worked with highway taxes in Illinois and their distribution and I assure you that virtually no resident has the faintest idea of where they are being taxed, how they are being taxed, about hidden taxes, etc. but they all know their RE tax is the highest in the country and someone should do something about it.
