I spent yesterday morning at the State House listening to a committee hearing on property tax circuit breakers.  Needing a break from the subject,  I got into a conversation with an acquaintance regarding elimination of the property tax. 

Our conversation took an interesting twist.  We started discussing how in the 1960's John F. Kennedy decided to put a man on the moon.  He asked me, "Is eliminating property taxes tantamount to putting a man on the moon?" 

Of course not.  After he refreshed my memory on all the steps that had to occur so Neil Armstrong walk on the moon, I added a small but vital piece to the conversation.

I remember reading that before JFK announced to the world that America would put a man on the moon, he consulted NASA director Wernher von Braun and asked,  "What would it take to put a man on the moon?"  Von Braun's answer: "The will to do it."

Plain & Simple:  This is not rocket science people.  All the vehicles we need to eliminate the property tax are in place.  We need to rely on Economists like Bill Styring who have already figured out how to make it work.  Elimination of property taxes should be easier than putting a man on the moon.  One small step from our legislators, would be one giant step for Hoosiers.
