Obama and the Democrats war on the elderly, poor, infirm, and working class conservatives (and some less than 1%er Democrats).
Look where the property taxes are the highest and you’ll find that in almost every case, the city/county and even state is run by Demonrats.
For those of us on a limited income, it is getting increasingly hard to pay the tax bills. Now I have to use Social Security to cover basic needs, and our country, wasted $200,000 of our money and $800,000 of the US taxpayers’ money for a $1.1 MILLION DOLLAR bus stop hut (heated sidewalks) that doesn’t work (the roof is so high and tilted backwards that snow and rail get in. (ARLINGTON COUNTRY, VA - run by geniuses and voted in by illegals, rich Democrats, and plain old fools).
There should be an age bar on property taxes or at least a percentage limit bases on the owner(s) income minus medical expenses.
That’s the decent thing to do, so you know the Democrats won’t do it. Decency is not in their program of “wealth redistibution”.

As I was writing about it upthread, I realized that there's a difference between someone who has their property paid off, and someone who is living the American dream of perpetual indebtedness.
The debt slave is actually causing the taxes of the paid-off person to go up, since he's pulling demand forward. The supposed "value" of an indebted property is not really there. There's incomplete equity, yet the two classes are treated the same.
If both persons (debt slave and paid-off person) have a $100,000 house, and they both fall behind in taxes the exact same amount, and they both lose their houses to the local taxing authority, what is REALLY happening?
The debt slave isn't losing nearly as much as the paid-off person.
The two classes should be treated differently.
