What happened to your socialistic, egalitarian "share the pain" zeal?

Or do you just like the idea of sticking it to landowners because they
are
somehow immoral for presuming to own something you can't afford?

That's not very consistent.
===============

Who said anything about "sticking it to the landowners"? As KMAN
pointed out, the landlord is taxed, and we can rest assured he'll
approtion his tax bill to all his tenants so they'll "share" the tax
burden.

As to property taxes being an appropriate means of funding education,
I've never said that. That happens to be the way much of it is funded,
but I'll agree with you, that doesn't make it right or the correct way
to do it. Income tax works for me just as well (better!).
