Letter: Education tax would hurt the rest of us

Why would any of us vote to tax the rest of us (“Teachers’ proposal would require hefty hike in property taxes,” Star-Advertiser, Sept. 18)? A higher tax on rental homes will simply result in increased rents. Is this in our best interest?

Also, a tax purported to benefit education will simply make it unnecessary for the state to use other revenues for schools, as we do now, making them available for spending in all sorts of ways. If we start by thinking about the welfare of one another, the rest will begin to take care of itself.
