Property taxes are just too high. It’s pretty easy to start a conversation with any landowner by saying, “My property taxes are crazy high.” No one ever really argues with you about it. They’ll sympathize; they’ll commiserate; they’ll share their own “high taxes” story. But they won’t argue with you about it.

(Sometimes, though, especially on “Harry’s Gang,” I’ll say that I don’t mind paying my taxes because of all the goods and services we get in exchange for them. That usually gets a pretty good reaction from the other guests.)

It’s May 15, and the first half...
