🚨 SIMPLE: Every state in America needs to abolish property taxes.
GOVERNOR RON DESANTIS: "It's almost like they have to pay rent to the government, just to be able to enjoy their property. That's wrong. We need to do something about it."
"[People] have their homes paid off and they bought it 30 years ago for a certain amount. Now they're being told it's worth so much more and they have to pony up more and more money."
Nobody ever would say such things in the socialist EU
The EU is a failed state of Marxism
At last a politician with some fucking back bone!
He is right. It is an insidious tax. I have to have earnings to pay income tax, gains to pay capital gains tax, and have to buy things to pay sales tax.
Owning property - for most homeowners - means I have ongoing expenses, no cash flow, and valuation (which the prop taxes are based off) rising on paper, in declining, debased dollars.
Injury to insult, the lions share of it goes to our government schools, which make the post office look well run and useful.
one can dream...
The origins of property tax were to force people to make productive use of land instead of having feudal lords do nothing with it for generations.
