Prop 13 helped hold off the slavery of too high property taxes, anyone who thinks it is bad, isn’t thinking straight.

The big lie about Prop 13 is that it freezes property taxes forever. It doesn’t. I does set a limit on property taxes after the property changes hands. Then it can only go up so much, but at the time it sells, the property taxes are adjusted upwards. The new owner pays a much higher rate than the last owner.

The problem with no limits on what property taxes can be, is that you have retired people having to sell their homes, because they can’t afford to pay the property taxes, even if the home has been paid off for decades.

The Democrats who always hawk the idea they stand up for the little guy, are angry as they can be that they can’t swindle Mom and Pop out of the homes they retired in.

Black Bart had nothing on these leeches.

Prop. 13 caused my property tax in Orange County to drop from just over $1,200 per year to just under $300 per year. By law it could only increase 2% a year.
