This is why I get worried about the hatred for income taxes. No, you want the government to want you to be richer. If all they raised was property taxes, then they don't care if you get priced out of your home, as long as someone's buying.

There's no hate for income taxes. There's hate about income taxes not accompanied with wealth taxes.

That is "tax in general", not income taxes specifically.

[apetrov]

income tax is a particular instance of 'tax in general'.
