“crackdowns”?

Since when is jacking up taxes a “crackdown”?

[CondoleezzaProtege]

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?

[SkyDancer]

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.

As of April 2025, the $1 million-plus category has been the fastest-growing real estate sales segment for 21 months straight, according to data from the National Association of Realtors®.

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.

Everyone who is not poor needs to be punished.

[SuperLuminal]

Ridiculous!
American communists leave no stone unturned when it comes to stealing from taxpayers’ wallets...

[johniegrad]

Why is “looking for new revenue streams” never “scouring the books for cost saving opportunities”?

[KarlInOhio]

No kids and private security,so she has minimal effect on the local budget. If anything, she should get a discount.

Now back to my usual posts of Swift delenda est.

[Racketeer]

Meet your pimp called government. You better pay the man.

[Libloather]

...that’s an extra $136,000 a year in property taxes...

Does Taylor come with it?

[Svartalfiar]

The state’s pitch is blunt: Wealthy absentee owners should contribute more to local revenue, especially in luxury markets that have exploded in value.

Wealthy absentee owners don't drive on the roads much, don't use utilities much, don't send kids to school there, can't vote in local elections usually, etc., etc. If anything, wealthy absentee owners should have a reduced tax rate, not a punitive one!
