1. will these Repukes ever learn???
there's no escape from taxes ... you pay less in Federal taxes, the Fed. cuts aid to the states, then the states either raise taxes or they pass it along to the localities (via property taxes)

2. If it's a good school district, high property taxes wouldn't matter.
Build a good school district and they will come.

3. taxes always matter
and they will always affect behavior the same way...the more you tax something, the less popular it becomes..

4. High real estate, high taxes, good schools.
Have you ever noticed that correlation?
