More and more localities are pushing sales tax since wealthy landowners are unhappy about paying more property taxes now that their property values are skyrocketing. If Texas and Florida refuse to implement income tax, and continue to insist on lowering property tax, that leaves one revenue stream available. And if Mayor Quimby keeps adding half a percent of sales tax to everything you buy, that means your tax rate continues to climb.
