In Arizona, property taxes are collected on every piece of real estate, based upon a valuation by government-employed assessors. A fundamental problem with that system is this: real estate values are fluctuating, usually escalating, and the total annual tax thus escalates along with it. It needs to stop, and that’s what the Arizona Tax Revolt is about. This is a project by citizens to take back some control over the growth of the burgeoning government in their state – what could be more libertarian than that?
