Or, "let's give the break to someone who can vote for me, not someone who can't vote for me"...something like that.
However, there is some logic to it. Where I live in Upstate NY, families who have owned lake property for generations are being taxed out of ownership, because the more affluent people from the big cities are retiring with all of that Big City Money, and buying up properties.
Being a rural area, people who have worked hard all of their lives, but earning the kind of money you earn in small rural towns, can't keep up.
