Here’s a better idea. No “taxation” of property.
The property “tax” is an incremental confiscation of the supposed value of your property. At a rate of 3%, the government has taken the full value of your house after 33 years, ignoring inflation. This is understandable, since the statists don’t want you to own anything, but they can’t seize it just yet, so they slice off a piece each year.
This confiscation is cleverly disguised with the use of the term “Mill rate.” The public doesn’t know what a mill is, and so never realizes the actual percentage of their property they are giving to the government.
Their end goal is for you to own nothing, and for the state to own everything. They don’t dare grab your house just yet, but they’re working on it. When they do it, it’ll sound something like “racial equity” or some such nonsense.
“Here’s a better idea. No ‘taxation’ of property.”
It is a sad fact that people don’t realize that it might be better to personally pay $4,000/year to educate each of their rugrats than to pay $3,000/year for forty years in property tax and also overpay $50,000 to well over $150,000 for a house.
Education in this country is of low quality.
