That said, I'm a big believer in starving the beast. While tax rate cuts will paradoxically increase revenue to a degree, they should be cut to the point revenues actually begin to decline and then force the government to live within its means.
We used to live in Kansas. Never really objected to the state income tax but the personal property tax, particularly in Johnson County, was a real budget buster, particularly if you had multiple cars and a boat. But the schools were the best. Other taxing entities will find some way to make up the difference for any shortfalls in the future.
