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.

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.

If Trump could get this done he would be right up there with Washington and Lincoln.

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.

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.

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.
