BREAKING: President Trump says he wants no more property taxes across the United States.
If It’s not the most evil, insidious tax ever devised by man. it’s runs pretty darn close. In essence, one don’t own their property, the localities/states own it. One just “rents” it from em. Don’t think so? Don’t pay it and just watch what happens.
Then, the evil basstids see fit to unjustifiably raise it year after year after year to the point where those, usually the elderly, on fixed income can no longer afford to pay the “rent” to pay for do-nothing, highly-paid govt. bureaucrats and are forced to sell what little they do actually own. I’ve seen millage rates and assessments “adjusted” unfairly favoring “friends and family”.
I’m all in with President Trump on this issue. There’s gotta be a fairer/better methodology to cover expenses than this vile crap.
Oh, I’m sure if property taxes are done away with, all landlords would lower rents! (Guffaw!)
Here in Arkansas Schools live or die on school millage increases...
i’m not in NYChitty- 40 miles north....if ayatollah mandani is elected my property values will skyrocket.
Every family member I know in NY are paying 15-25 K in taxes
The taxes on the house I grew up in- yes it was upper middle class hood but not billionaires row - $35k per year per Zillow.
Government has no business being in the education business.
WOW.
Someone in DC who actually gives a damn about working taxpayers.
So much common sense.
So much winning.
This is what I voted for!!!!!!!!!!!
If Trump could get this done he would be right up there with Washington and Lincoln.
No more property taxes would be a godsend for many of us...and maybe some of us could afford a little vacation cottage somewhere..
Uhaul reservations are skyrocketing getting out of New York.
Defund the Department of Education
Blame thing and the parliamentarian
The alternative is a consumption/fair tax. Po’ folk will pay a higher percentage of their income on necessities while the rich can’t spend theirs fast enough.
It’s been said that 20% tax rate is the sweet spot for growth and freedom. If the feds go way down what’s to stop the locals from jacking theirs up to cover the difference?
Skin in the game. There’s gotta be something I it for the masses otherwise it’s a no-go.
Mortgage deduction-I’d limit it o $200k-one time only. Watch prices go down.
Which tax is worse-property or income?
I like this agenda-setting goal.
My property taxes fund the schools in my county, not your state.
“ Government has no business being in the education business.”
None. At all
Well, none, until you want them to teach the kids in a brainwashing deal, what they’re doing now, so that in NYC, where a generation has been done in, they’re putting a bona fide American hater into the mayor spot after deblasio and Adams turned it into a ggigantitic urinal full of violent offenders
Property taxes are fine with me. It is the school taxes that are onerous and uncontrollable.
Broke AND turned into sh1tholes everywhere you look.
Property taxes are outrageous for some areas. But how would you pay for municipal services without them? It would have to be some kind of tax, if not on your property, some other kind of tax. I agree that people shouldn’t lose their property if they can’t afford their property taxes. What is President Trump suggesting as an alternative tax? Our taxes for our little hovel in our depressed little town in Oklahoma are dirt cheap. It would probably cost us much more if sales tax were raised incrementally.
