BREAKING: President Trump says he wants no more property taxes across the United States.

Agreed. Raise the sales tax. Or income tax instead.

Once you've bought your house, it belongs to you, period.

THIS is the primary driver to me - I don’t like ‘renting’ my paid-for property from my county.

I get it they need the money, and in fact our county govt does a good job. Find another way to fund the budget and I’ll consider it. Sales tax is a fave, or a flat tax on income. “Let’s talk” about it.

Em. No

People have grown to imagine that the government needs more of our family resources than our families do

People find it more normal to not get married, have kids. To abort their offspring. Than to demand that the government who works for us quit expecting more and more money from families

Every family I know in New York has everyone working full time They’re paying tens of thousands to the government. My parents never did that

This government can freaking figure out on their own how to get us out of the 40 trillion dollar debt they’ve spent us into and let us get back to living our lives. That 40 trillion is not coming from a group of overburdened middle class families

Sales tax is at least equitable...Of course if you have 5 babies with 5 fathers...it might hurt....but even now, you get a child care credit...so there are solutions....but someone has to pay for them. So will tariffs turn things around.

I’ve always been a proponent of a sales tax as it will force politicians to focus on keeping the economy humming.

Is should, but it never really does because if you don’t keep endlessly paying property taxes the state can take you home from you.

A case could also be made that seniors shouldn’t have to pay property taxes because they don’t have kids in public schools anymore.
