PROPERTY TAXES ARE RENT TO THE GOVERNMENT!!!
WE ARE A NATION OF RENTERS! THE GOVERNMENT IS THE LANDLORD!!!!
Yes! Indeed! I am jumping up and down and shouting! I am exasperated that so few of my fellow citizens understand this basic concept.
The majority of property taxes go to pay for the GODLESS and SOCIALIST-ENTITLEMENT government schools that teach a godless cultural, political, and religious worldview that is a First Amendment and freedom of conscience ABOMINATION and in complete contradiction of every value that I hold.
Also....With business property taxes ( building, land, and personal property such as tools, equipment, and computers) these taxes are **hidden** and passed on to the taxpayer in the price of everything with use and buy.
Sucks to live in a house that’s paid off but I still have to pay for it or face losing it.
