I disagree, renters pay rent and property owners pay property taxes. Just because a renter charges the tennant a little extra doesn't mean he can pass the responsibility on the the renter. That money is not earmarked for property taxes. Who is gonna lose their property if the taxes aren't payed? A renter has no skin in the game other than moving to another house/apartment. Two people ( renter and tennant ) can't both be paying taxes on the same property. One of them pays and one of them doesn't, period. I understand your logic, but in the end only one of them writes the check.
Wow! "Big land owners" need to pay more! Don't worry, it's coming soon enough I'm afraid.
