>> I know that within my own family, who all live out in various PA and NJ suburbs, I pay about 20% of what the LOWEST of their property taxes happen to be! They can't believe how LOW my taxes are. This is also one of the primary reasons why the Suburbs hate the City Wage Tax -- they can easily see that Philadelphians are NOT paying their fair share.<<
I think this line of reasoning mixes apples and kiwis. It would hold up as an argument if you compared, say, the total local tax burden on like-situated individuals in both locations. For example, if you compare the sum of my property taxes as a Philadelphia homeowner, plus my wage taxes as a Philadelphia resident, to the sum of the local property taxes plus commuter wage tax of a homeowner who lives in the suburbs and works in the City, you might see a different picture.
