[quote=APAULT,229773]A property tax is popular because it is easy to raise - the collectors know where the properties are and send out bills and collect the tax. Is it fair? In one sense, yes, because all families pay it - even renters as the rent will become a little higher. Much depends on how it is done - if the rural poor pay as much as the urban business men it clearly isn't fair, and that certainly won't happen. This tax should make the businessmen pay something - it seems to me at the moment (from what I have heard) that many are not paying the income tax they are supposed to. Are those collecting the tax elected? Yes, those of us used to our own democracies should not assume other forms of mass representation and election are inadequate. There are problems with all election systems. Accountable: well that comes in all shapes and sizes. Are my elected representatives accountable? - Not as much as I'd like them to be![/quote]
