So Now we know Why...

Over on HoosierAccess, a great post entitled "So Now we know Why..." was published by Brian Sikma. Go read it.

Many people ask me, "So what are you going to replace property taxes with?" I tell them three possible things:

1. Sales tax.
2. Income tax.
3. Spending cuts.

We CAN be more efficient and we MUST be. It's sad, but here in South Bend over 50% of our students drop out before graduating from our expensive High Schools. Sometimes I think the one room school houses 150 years ago heated by wood burning stoves produced better educations and definitely better citizens than many of our multi-million dollar palace High Schools today.

Just a thought... Americans need to realize that money isn't the solvent for every (or even most) problems.
