You got me! 🙂

Yes, our property taxes are kind of high. There is legislation proposed this year to cap them at inflation.
I don't think our Business Enterprise (payroll) tax is that high, but there is also a rollback planned for this year, from 0.55% to 0.50%.
We receive our share of federal gas tax, and we have tolls on the major highways which generate money for road repairs. That's more of a user fee than a tax, which is much better!

All of that still doesn't change the fact that our workers take home 100% of their pay (from the state at least)! 🙂

Is it though? It prices people out of things. Eventually yourself included

[–] yodeljunkmanenvy@piefed.social -4 points 3 months ago (1 children)

It is. Broad-based taxes take money from everyone whether they use the service or not. With a user fee, the way to avoid paying it is to not use the service.

[–] T00l_shed@lemmy.world 6 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Oh but its not, because people who may require said service may not have the means to use it. That's what being a part of a society is about.

Reminds me of healthcare.

Is a prime example. But things like public transit can be subsidized, or in proper places free, and various social services are also funded by tax payers
