Is tax equity possible in Pennsylvania?

Answer 1

Probably depends on how you define "equity".

PA's income tax is a flat rate, which many people on this forum and other places seem to think would be a good idea for federal.

PA's many smaller taxes are a nuisance, and the local wage tax being 1% pretty much everywhere except Pgh and Philly, much higher there, doesn't seem really fair to residents of those two cities.

Property taxes certainly vary all over the map, and the assessment process is poor at best. I have lived in my house since 1973. It was new then, and had an initial assessment then - has been reassessed only once since then, maybe 10 years ago.
