They are raising taxes everywhere no one is looking, e.g. by slashing lottery payouts, <A HREF="http://marginalizingmorons.blogspot.com/2008/10/stealth-inflation.html" REL="nofollow">raising</A> parking and transit fees, and of course the biggest tax is inflation from currency debasement. They'll get us one way or another so we have to fight back when we can - if for no reason other than to slow them down.<BR/><BR/>As for the effect on property values given an income tax repeal....<BR/><BR/>The argument can go either way.<BR/><BR/>Won't people have more income to pay their mortgage with? That would <EM>boost</EM> house prices at the margin.<BR/><BR/>And, if all else fails, the government may ultimately decide that the only solution is to DOWNSIZE. <BR/><BR/>It could happen, one day.CaptiousNuthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14440029537418230507noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11336670.post-36257815734535807412008-11-06T17:40:00.000-05:002008-11-06T17:40:00.000-05:00yea, 52% isn't a landslide.

The big shockers for me were NC and Nevada but I think it was pretty close considering that Obama landed the new 18-30 crowd and they represent a whopping 1% of the gap.Deanna Shawhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09984790056949038315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11336670.post-33229440256867600262008-11-06T16:39:00.000-05:002008-11-06T16:39:00.000-05:00Thanks for the reminder about the popular votes a...Thanks for the reminder about the popular votes accumulated by recent Presidents.

I am a vacation home owner on Cape Cod and pay extremely low taxes compared to where I am in VA. If the income tax repeal passes, where does the Gov't get tax revenue? why of course, from the home owner in the form of rising real estate taxes. taxes go up, the value of our home falls (even more) as buyers will now qualify for a lower mortgages due to the increase in monthly taxes they must pay.
