Harrison: Would MS residents trade higher retail costs for elimination of property tax?

Mississippians seem to be providing contradictory responses to questions asked in a recent poll commissioned by state Republican House Speaker Jason White. On the one hand, according to the 501 people questioned in the scientific poll, their top priority was inflation or the cost of most retail goods, such as clothes, groceries, gasoline and many other items. But on the other hand, a majority of those polled say they would favor eliminating the tax on primary residences (or on homesteads) and offset that lost revenue by increasing the sales tax, resulting in those retail items costing more. Despite those increased costs, 56.6% of poll respondents said they would favor eliminating the property tax on primary residences while increasing the sales tax, while 24.6% opposed the proposal and 18.9% offered no opinion. Inflation was the top priority of 22.2% of respondents, followed by crime and public safety at 19.1% and healthcare at 14.7%. Only 13.5% said reducing taxes was their top priority. Maybe, the people who identified inflation as the top priority were among the respondents opposed to eliminating the property tax and increasing the sales tax. Maybe, some poll respondents weighed the options and decided they would rather pay no
