Editor: Some questions for our Georgia senators and representatives: We are perplexed at the House Bills HB 385-387 that attempt a consumption tax with no reduction of income taxes. Fair Tax/Flat Tax type tax increases only work if there is a decrease in the overall income tax. Many of us have seen large increases in our property taxes due to the elimination of the homestead exemption, leading us to wonder if we are being penalized for being homeowners.
