Ahh yes cause funding education for anyone regardless of class is communism.
I can’t believe that in 2022 there are people who don’t understand that you need to educate everyone, not just the well off.
We live in a society and we have to look past just our own selfish needs/wants to the future.
Even if you don’t have kids that doesn’t mean you don’t have to help provide for a better future.

Only real estate holders pay the tax.
We can argue that those renting pay the tax also through the landlord. But money doesn’t have names attached.
Just because I say -about time- doesn’t mean I am not willing to pay. I am answering the topic. It doesn’t say defund schools…. It doesn’t say no one should pay for school… it says real estate tax dollars should not be the source of educational funding.
Not communism- simply tired of paying 8k in school taxes where my neighbor who rents and has 6 kids pays zero. And I have zero kids in school..
Now, I am going to super popular!! If there was only another revenue source in New Hampshire ….. hmmmmm….
I am from a western state where SOME property tax is used and income tax does the rest. ( wait.. wait… hold that down vote!!). I am not suggesting that.. but there must be a way that everyone participates- not just those who hold real estate.
Okay. Go ahead. Continue to down vote.

Just remember, by owning property and paying taxes on it, you get to deduct them from your federal tax every year, your neighbor doesn't. You move and sell your house, you get to keep all that beautiful equity, your neighbor doesn't. You always come out ahead by owning property

It’s an offset against salary- if you have enough deductions. And since the new tax laws in 2016, it’s not the way it once was

Jesus. 6 kids?? Damn. We have one and that is plenty. We live in an affluent area, pay over 10k in taxes and our child goes to private school. Our public school system is 10/10. We still pay it because we know it goes towards the kids in our city.

For what it is worth, I happen to agree with you on this particular topic. But rather than going with a state tax, I would rather go with a sales tax. But that would spark a whole different outcry lol
