I have a real problem with property taxes. Not that I can’t pay them, because I don’t want to.

We live on a mountain, the developer took off with some money some time back, well the town ship decided they didn’t have to maintain our roads, or anything else.

We have ‘sand mounds’ and ‘septic systems’ and we have ‘wells’ for water, we have to pay for our own trash removal, and in the winter, if the trash and fuel trucks can make it up the hill, you get the benefit of these items, if not, you don’t, but you still have to pay.

I took my compaint to the meeting one fair Thursday night, and was told if I didn’t like living in this ‘village’ I could move.....

So I have taken up a campaign of letting people know how much money these ‘lazy bums’ make off of us.

Now mind you, they have pensions from other jobs, social security and are getting paid by the township thru the property taxes....

Why should I pay property taxes? For the ‘priviledge’ of paying for everything I have here....

Property taxes is typical local government BS... I would fight to succeed from the ‘town’ you are in. It happened in a town in Maine... the town got creedy so people started to succeed from the town, the next election it was run but people promoting tax cuts!

I have taken up a similar campaign for my locality as I am getting fed up with corruption through taxation. IMO, we have got to organize nation-wide to eliminate automatic tax withholding.
