I love the way POTUS Trump thinks. Now compare your local government officials salary with the salary of a US Cabinet officer and get back to me.
Why do we pay local officials so much money, yet our cities and counties are broke?
HOORAY President Trump!
That would be AWESOME.
States will not buy into this...
property tax is the ultimate government burden on the middle and working class.
Not sure how that will work in Texas. It is the major funding source for publik screwels.
Attempts to starve the monster of government have failed since the 1980s.
Government has to be systematically dismantled.
Agreed. Raise the sales tax. Or income tax instead.
Once you've bought your house, it belongs to you, period.
Privitize government schools and it’s done.
CA here
Will never happen
They are constantly trying to roll back Prop 13 & increase property taxes!
Can anything be done on the fed level?
Institution of property taxes transfers ownership of all land to the government.
Fail to pay your tax/rent and they kick you off.
Unless you’re a squatter. Then you can stay.
Will this be like his promise of no tax on SS? [I don’t see where my SS will cease to be taxed.]
If only the president had the ability to do anything about this. Unfortunately he doesn’t.
It’s not his call. I want no more property taxes but then I would also abolish the public schools. People in my state want it the way it is.
If he can get this passed in a bill he wins the midterms that simple. My Mom pays 18,000 for property taxes for this house alone and its absolutely RIDICULOUS. This is HER property yet she has to pay property taxes for it every year which goes to what, feeding illegals, no thanks
The property tax is an abomination. The government is effectively seizing a portion of your property each year. Here, it is around 3%. So after about 33 years they have taken approximately the full value of your property.
So it isn’t YOUR property after all.
I misread the headline: I thought it said Trump wants more property taxes across the US.
El Trumpo!!!
How is that the business of the federal government?
(Though it certainly would be great for those in the RE biz.)
Bury Henry George.
