“crackdowns”?
Since when is jacking up taxes a “crackdown”?
Most municipalities DESPISE housing providers. Even though they are a huge chunk of the town’s revenue AND aren’t allowed to vote in the locality’s elections unless they actually live there.
The dynamics in play already…are why Socialism is gaining steam. If Zohran Mamdani wins the NYC mayoral elections, the seismic implications will overshadow even Taylor Swift.
Looks like there might be a little problem with her beach facing slope.
Won’t it be the Taylor Kelce Tax?
He’s taking her name isn’t he?
IOW, don’t be successful because the left wants to tax you more because of your success since they’re all jealous and all.
Conservatives focus on the absurd power and spending of the Federal Government, which is correct
But the real tax burden, social engineering, and ground troops of the Left are in massive local taxes to support bloated local government
I’ve lived in both NY and CA, so have seen it up close.
This is simply evidence of inflation, the debasement of the currency. A million dollars won't buy what it used to, even five years ago.
As an added injustice, the owners don’t get to vote in the jurisdiction, even though they have to pay taxes there.
Many folks in RI have homes that they bought for $200k years ago that are worth well above $1 million now. They are hardly “ultra wealthy.”
Jealousy and Envy are horrible afflictions.
Indeed it’s like pouring gas on a fire to put it out.
As he gets older, he’ll have to change his middle name to “Notso”.
Everyone who is not poor needs to be punished.
Ridiculous!
American communists leave no stone unturned when it comes to stealing from taxpayers’ wallets...
Why is “looking for new revenue streams” never “scouring the books for cost saving opportunities”?
Looks like they just armored it with large rocks in case a rogue wave hits there.
While I get your point, the tax isn’t on homesteaders; it is on non-primary/vacation homeowners presumably out of state and non-voting.
Always easy targets. Florida perfected the tactic decades ago.
