Are you trying to say the average person should pay both but the ultra rich should only pay one? That makes no sense.

The "average" person doesn't pay ANY property taxes because they rent instead of own.
I help pay for EVERYBODIES kids to go to public school here in Vegas (property tax)...even though the majority of them don't have parents who own property and do NOT contribute.
I also spend more money than the "average" person. So I pay many times more in sales tax (state, local...and in the case of gasoline: federal).
I also contribute to the economy more than the "average" person because I spend that money. So I help to create demand and jobs.
I also pay the state a ton of licensing fees because I OWN my business. The "average" person works for somebody else and doesn't have to worry with that.
If the people of Wisconsin were smart...they would do everything in their power to make sure that billionaire doesn't leave. It's people like her that make the world go 'round.
