I guess if I look at all the statistics, median income/home value, net
assets, etc, I'd come out well above the average. I never minded the
fact that I pay a little more property tax than those that aren't able
to live in as nice an area as I do. I wouldn't trade places with
them.

And there
will still be property taxes even with a flat income tax.

Well, yeah. Can you come up with a reasonable argument why there
shouldn't be?

What extra
services do I get for my $135 / year property tax on my boat, than the $12 /
year property tax boat guy? Say we both own 21' boats, mine is just more
expensive.

Wow, life is just really, really unfair, isn't it? Nobody's there to
stop you from getting the same boat as the guy that pays the $12.
