second, I expect them to get the money from the same place that a young couple just starting out has to get it from to pay their mortgage and property taxes that are now much higher than they would otherwise be because they are having to subsidize the property taxes of those much wealthier than them that had their whole lives to work and save.

Not sure how to reply, except to say that you have much to learn about the realities of life, young man.
Just sayin’....
the people who have worked and saved and invested for 40 years or more are “the wealthiest group in America”
selfish bastards
give it up
Don't they know young people are stretched to pay for for their kids' tutors, student loans for grad school tuition, private schools, camps, music lessons, sports leagues and equipment, $100 NIKE sneakers, RV’s, HDTV, HBO, IPODs, iphones, creditcard bills, and mortgages on houses with 4 bedrooms, 3 baths, stainless steel appliances, granite counters, hard wood floors Plus 2 car payments and the truck which is hubby's mantoy
I have an idea to equalize property taxes like you think is fair - everyone pay the same rate- based on what you paid for the house
When my in-laws paid $40K for their house, their take home pay was a couple hundred dollars a week, house payments were 25% of their income after tax.
Now their house is paid off, worth maybe $220K, so they are “the wealthiest group in America” with property taxes higher than their mortgage used to be and costing almost 30% of their annual income which is shrinking, not growing. Frankly they are in a sinking ship but can't or wont jump, have this selfish desire to die in their home jump
Yeah “they should get the money from the same place young people get it”, get a job
Got any tips for resume writing for those in their 70’s?
(oh and workplace must not have stairs or require lifting or manual dexterity due to arthritis)
Are telling me that old, +65, don’t have to pay property taxes in Texas? I surprised that people aren’t moving from Florida to Texas.
I live in upstate New York and 75% of my property taxes goes for grades k-12 and my children have been out of high school between 26 and 31 years. When there is a school budget vote 90% of the school district employees and parents of school children own the vote.
