"Show me just what Mohammed brought that was new, and there you will find things only evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached." - Manuel II Palelologus
Just more theft by the Organized Crime syndicates....Federal, State, County and Local ‘syndicates’
ripping off more of our hard earned $$. Consider it extortion without the threat of violence. Man do we need a tax revolt BIGTIME in this nation.
Is an acquisition value system fair, uniform,
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
No! It is **NOT** fair.
Property tax makes the government the **real** owner of the property. Fail to pay the property tax ( government “rent”) and the government landlord will soon evict the property dweller from the house or business.
But...The underlying problem here are the voracious, communist-model, **government schools**! Get rid of them!
First, give all parents and citizens tax credits for funding a child’s education.
Then gradually expect parents to pay for their own child’s education in the same way they pay for food and clothing.
Finally reserve government vouchers for use in private schools only for the poorest of the poor or hopelessly handicapped. ( Just as we do for housing and food now.)
Cheryl would establish a multi-tier tax system where the annual property tax bill between two adjacent identical properties would differ by reason of which sold more recently.
Such an acquisition system would discourage willingness to move for job, health, etc., because doing so would incur a larger tax burden.
Property taxes are used to fund education, fire and police protection. To fund these community services could be done in a number of ways.
It’s best to be rid of the property tax system altogether and replace it with a portion taken from a state FairTax system.
While I like the FAIR tax, if one must have property taxes this is a great way to go. Looks like California’s Prop 13. The beauty is that you will always know what your property taxes will be. Take my home for example, purchased in 1984 for $180,000. Some 20 years later I pay around $2,300 a year. If I lived in another state where they might tax it at 3% of appraised value, that bill might be up to $25-30,000 a year. Now how the hell could I stay there?
Actually, when I was recruited to work in Texas they talked of the lack of income tax. I calculated that with income and property tax I was paying less in California than I would in Texas.
I thought it said, "Tazed."
