Over the years they have been several theoretical views about property tax. Marshall, (1890) posited that general property tax is a tax that is shifted to the consumers. The tax as he sees it is a local property tax, and it is a tax that will cause residents to move to other locations if it is not accompanied by local public services.
Netzer, (1966) also put forward the view that property tax is also one that is shifted to the consumers of public services. It was also his view that the tax will lead to an increase in the prices of houses in a specific jurisdiction.
Rolph and Break, (1969) however on the other hand argues that a property tax can be shifted backwards to immobile capital. In their views the tax is levied on capital. Similarly Mieskowski, (1972) and Orr, (1968) supported their views that the property tax is one that is levied on capital improvements. The theory surrounds the significant role of the tax incidence. The tax incidence relates to what must be taxed, should it be viewed as a benefit tax or as a tax on capital. The differences are driven by assumptions relating to the mobility of capital and residents. This led to two competing views the “benefit view” and the “new view”.
The benefit view is one in which the local

Taxes! After the French and Indian War, the British government needed money to pay for the cost of protecting the colonists from the French and Indians. The British government approved several taxes including the Stamp and Tea Acts to help pay for the costs of the war. The colonists were expected to pay these taxes.
Samuel Johnson, “Taxation No Tyranny”, portrayed the objections of the American Colonies as belligerent “zealots of anarchy, who have denied, to the parliament of Britain the right of taxing the American colonies…” (Johnson par 1). Johnson’s arguments verged on debasement of the people dwelling in the colonies. Furthermore, Johnson presents a definition of what a tax is, much in the manner of explaining an idea or concept to a perceived audience of people with lower intellect. Johnson argues that America was more than able to pay taxes.
The high taxes, high prices on goods, and unequal distribution of wealth in France were reasons why the French Revolution started. There were three estates in France; the first estate was the clergy, the second estate were the nobles, and the third estate was made up of of three groups; average French workers, Bourgeoisie, and peasants. The French Revolution led to many wars; Louis XVI was a very weak leader, and he was executed. Napoleon Bonaparte became emperor, and the revolution came to an end. The main causes of the French Revolution were the difficult life of the peasants; the issues between the three estates; and the unfairness of the Declaration of the Rights of Man and Citizen.
This “unfairness” led to the Boston Tea party which led to the Intolerable Acts and other rough legislation which ultimately led to the American Revolution. “Taxation” stands for the money that is taken from the paycheck to pay for school, roads, police

The author is also suggesting the idea that individuals who have the benefit of additional profit, to share their wealth amongst the rest of the nation that has limited profit. Another allusion to support Long’s theory of sharing America’s wealth was made regarding the well known Greek philosophers Socrates
John Locke’s Second Treatise of Government is most known for his justification of private property, but there are many other theories, though not as popular, that are equally as important. One of these is his justification of inequality, which will be covered in this essay. Locke says that until the invention of money, there was no point to accumulate more property, or wealth, than one could use because it would spoil. That changed after the introduction of money because money does not spoil, which allows people to accumulate more than they need. Locke argues that since men agreed to use money as a way to fairly possess more than they could use, they also agreed to the consequence of inequality.
The American Dream and Property Ownership: As a child growing up in a single parent household I moved around quite often. In fact, I attended at least 7 different elementary schools that I can count. My mother made sure to instill in me how important my education and roots should be. So, it is from countless life experiences that have shaped my opinion on why owning property is an advantageous factor.

The federal tax system is plagued with issues: It doesn 't raise sufficient revenue to back government spending, it is unpredictable, it makes results that are unreasonable, and it impedes monetary productivity. This part examines a few approaches to enhance charges, including making an esteem included duty, expanding natural taxes, improving the corporate expense, treating low-and center pay workers evenhandedly and productively, and guaranteeing suitable tax collection of high-wage family units. A good tax system raises the incomes expected to fund government spending in a way that is as basic, evenhanded, and development well growth as could reasonably be expected. The United States does not have a good tax system.

Man may flourish through property acquisition, wealth acquisition, and the security from common wealth to know they will remain unchallenged to their own. In terms of the duty citizenship, this ideal
