My Tax Cap, Not Yours

Dancing for Budget cuts. You know, the “Save the schools, slice the social programs” tango. Lots of posturing, just a tad light on substance. Of course you expect little else from our reps at this time of year.
But this I found almost funny:

Paterson and Senate Republicans wanted a cap on the growth in annual property tax levies. Assembly Democrats want relief for only lower-income and some middle income residents. The stalemate produced no agreement.

What the hell should my income have to do with a property tax cap? This is pretty much pandering, or to use the more technical term, Bullshit. I would qualify as being eligible, but a cap based on personal wealth is a stretch.
