	Talking Taxes: South Carolina: Mark Sanford Asks the Hard Questions
		One shouldn't have to congratulate elected officials for asking the sort of basic questions Sanford is bringing up, but in the current climate that's the way it is. Good job, governor.
		The classic bait-and-switch anti-tax lawmakers tend to pull with property tax reform is telling the public and the media that it's all about saving elderly homeowners who are in danger of losing their homes-- and then enacting big-time property tax cuts that benefit even the wealthiest homeowners.
		If, as some have suggested, the state simply caps the growth of taxes on homes in fast-growing areas, this just means that the cost of funding services will be shifted away from people whose property values are high and growing, and toward people living in low-valued, low-growth homes.
