I don't know how it works where you are, but here property owners pay the lion's share of the school taxes.

Property taxes are paid by **everyone**!!!!

This really is Econ 101.

The poor pay property taxes in the form of higher rents. The landlord passes these taxes on to his tenants in the form of higher rents.

Businesses pass on their property taxes in the form of higher prices on **everything** **everyone** uses or consumes!

In fact the poor pay a **higher** burden ( proportionally) on their income because they have little to no discretionary savings. Nearly all of their income is spent on rents and consumer items. Both of which include school taxes.

Geeze! At least the wealthier people can avoid some school taxes by merely saving more of their income rather than spending it.

Get rid of welfare and public housing and you may have a case to make.
