“But the Arnolds are now facing a $138,000 property tax bill.”
Holy Crap!! That is unbelievable. How are all the FReepers fleeing to TN faring on their property taxes?
Kill that Golden Goose!
Didn’t look. Is the Mayor a sentient being who is honest or is he a DemocRAT?
Isn’t there a candidate running for Mayor of Nashville who says she hates everything about Nashville? Sounds like the whole City Council hates Nashville. She should be a shoo-in. Bless their hearts.
Gotta be more to that story. Back taxes maybe? If not, Nashville is screwed.
It’s the same story in every Democrat controlled city across the nation. Restaurants operate on very thin profit margins and even the most efficiently operated eating places do not make a profit in the first year of business. Add in uncontrolled crime and constantly increasing taxes it soon becomes too costly for even the best restaurants with well-liked dishes to handle.
Meanwhile, in red states with lower tax rates and fewer regulations, new restaurants are opening up every few weeks.
Someone has to pay for the government services provided to illegal immigrants.
Someone has to pay for the zero income tax. That leaves sales, property and sin taxes. Having the greedy hand of government grab a little less never seems to be an option.
Ocupations taxes, local sales taxes, etc.
Two Egg McMuffins where I live come with $1.20 in additional sales tax.
What kills me in our small town is that the city government keeps giving tax incentives for choke and puke national chains to move in. Meanwhile, we have a number of long-time single-proprietor establishments struggling to get by. Tax incentives for the national chains does nothing but increase the competitive disadvantage of the small restaurants.
Fyi Nashville was picked by all the San Fran faggies to be the new San Fran. They’ve been flooding into the area like mad. Sad but true Nashville has become a leftist pit dominated by the trannie queers. Have a few relatives that moved there. All queer as three dollar bills and very happy to pay higher and higher taxes.
It’s the Commie underhanded plan to destroy Capitalism through confiscatory taxation - destroy the ownership of private property and along with it free enterprise. You will own nothing and be happy.
Nashville is democrat run.
Tennessee needs to do what Iowa did. Limit increases on property taxes. Des Moines and Polk County got greedy and finally the state legislature had to intervene and tell them to knock it off and set limits.
