56 here. Sorry it has taken so long for so many of these people to catch on to the ruse of government. We, and those before us, knew the simple facts of learning a skill, working hard, doing the right things by our creator, our family and our community and things would always get better. Yet we allowed these government programs to rise.....and now they are consuming us. We were made to fell guilty because of inequality. Those who were perceived to be unequal really don’t want equality. They want control. And they want to crush America.
People in Florida screamed that their property taxes went up this year forgetting that the idiots voted for it in 2018 with the school safety measures after the ONE school shooting. Idiots!!!! I voted NO to the tax but still get screwed paying the extra taxes because of the emotional voting liberals.
We’ll see. Not sure that enough have yet caught on to the lies.
>>People in Florida screamed that their property taxes went up this year
I am always surprised how high property taxes are in FL (at least in the places I look near the water)- was hoping to either retire there or at least have a winter home to get away from the New England weather - but way up on my list of requirements for any 2nd home I buy is a low carrying cost - property taxes, hurricane insurance flood insurance (and possibly sinkhole insurance!) and HOA fees really drive up the cost of an otherwise ‘affordable’ house.
Now I consider buying a place out of the country instead...
We need to convince the Xer’s that they are in the same boat and it’s sinking fast. Millennials are probably a lost cause at this point.
That line was worth the price of admission.
Why anyone votes for tax increases is beyond me. I always vote no and will continue to do so.
Public employees. And they don't care if they bankrupt taxpayers.
Public employees? You mean public masters right?
The teacher’s union is a particularly powerful voting block here in Louisiana. Add to that all their kinfolks.
Boomer less tolerant?
Boomers are the original “me” generation. They spawned the millennials. The ruined the education system. They are ruining government.
They will reap what they’ve sown.

I'm not waiting for my state to do this; I'm moving my domicile to another tax friendly state in a matter of months.
I'm not going to lie to myself that they might cut taxes.

If you really think about it we live in a sea of lies.
-- Governments at all levels lie and deceive us to put up smoke screens so we won't discover their self-serving greed and corruption.
-- In the commercial world we are targeted every minute of every day (no exaggeration) by deceptive commercials, advertisements and p0p-up ads. Note how few commercials say anything about the actual product itself.
-- Academia is supposed to teach and instill in us a mindset of critical and logical thinking but instead is more concerned with indoctrinating students in socialist ideology and relentlessly increasing tuition to cover their own empire building and increasingly lucrative employment for faculty members.
-- And the mainstream media, the biggest liar of them all, passes off a steady stream of left wing propaganda as "journalism" and "news coverage".
We are surrounded by so many lies we don't even notice most of them anymore.
The other thing they did to destroy our sense of independence in retirement, they passed a state wide rent control bill. We can only raise rents up to 7% a year, the renter association wanted to make it no more than 2% per year, remember when I said our property taxes go up 3% the renters want us to loose money for them.
Were moving and selling, it will take some time, but we are taking all of it to another state were we might be more appreciated? All of it is 19 rentals and a 165 acre timber farm.
Property taxes are county level, not statewide.
Maybe you live in a liberal county? Broward?
Public employees? You mean public masters right?

This week I had the misfortune of speaking with a local “public servant” about a service issue. This person was was one of most rude, condescending and arrogant people I’ve ever encountered. I guess from their perspective, they have absolute job security so why should they care about friendly customer service?
I voted NO to the tax but still get screwed paying the extra taxes because of the emotional voting liberals.

No liberal ever saw a government program or a tax hike that they didn’t like.
Millennials are probably a lost cause at this point.

They have no idea what they’re in for.
“The teacher’s union is a particularly powerful voting block here in Louisiana.”
I am sure you meant teachers as a voting bloc. Teachers’ unions have no power in Louisiana. Teachers’ unions are often confused with the educational bureaucracy, which in all fifty states is Marxist and anti-American to the core.
Most teachers I know personally are very conservative.
