Resident of North Dakota was quoted saying -
“I would like to be able to know that my home, no matter what happens to my income or my life, is not going to be taken away from me because I can’t pay a tax,” said Susan Beehler, one in a group of North Dakotans who have pressed for an amendment to the state’s Constitution to end the property tax.
“When,” Ms. Beehler asked, “did we come to believe that government should get rich and we should get poor?”
“The same problem kept coming up,” said Charlene Nelson, a homemaker who became a leader of the effort to amend the (North Dakota) Constitution, pointing to what she deems the underlying problem with the property tax. “It means all of us are renters — none of us are homeowners.”
“No tax should have the power to leave you homeless,” said Jim Cox, a state representative in Pennsylvania.
