The Republicans in Congress should try to send to the states a constitutional amendment that would cap middle class property taxation, such as:

Property tax on any residential property of less than 2799 square feet of finished space shall be no higher the 2019 dollar amount on the property, or for a newer or since resold property what a similar property in the same area would have been taxed at for 2019 if it lacked owner specific tax breaks, increased by 3% per calendar year since 2019 and by any percentage increase to its finished space.

Fighting for such a property tax cap would add the electors of several deep blue states to Trump’s total and make Congress turn deep red.

Even multi-election Democratic voters do not want to get taxed out of their homes.

How would schools get funded if property taxes are capped to 2019 scale levels?

By higher sales taxation and by services taxation that is used in Florida in lieu of having a state income tax.

I don’t want to pay for schooling of the kids of the people pampering the well-to-do. The well-to-do need to pay for such schooling via service taxation.

Well-to-do often send their children to expensive private schools. They pay taxes and tuition after giving lip service to equity.
