Utterly soulless.
The undead.
Thats the way these citys and town will continue their out of control spending.They will just increase your property taxes on your home until they outpace your capability to pay them off.
Then they’ll sieze your home and sell it to someone else and just continue the theft.
In America your home is not yours even when its mortgage free.
Why would NY care about the little guy?
he paid $8900 for the house and four years later the tax debit is more than he paid for the house??? NY taxes are insane...Only fools believe they can still “own” property in the United States.
Its probably a small house and almost $10/k in Syracuse, NY.
Despicable what the government does-— Now if the Rev’s Al and Jesse want to get in on the act for a brotha well this would be it.
If the city is so sorry, then sell him back his house for the the remaining taxes and reasonable fees.
Crapheads. It’s not like they can’t, they just won’t.
It was actually, "Sorry, but... "
Documentation File to Abolish the IRS.
Yes, they would. I just wish some one would say, you want my house? Come get it.
People in Syracuse have voted for this type of oppressive government and will continue to do so.
So then, if he doesn’t get to keep his home does he get his $9,877 back? I think I know the answer to my question..
Government is so greedy.
We’ve become a nation of nazis.
So this starter in 2012 or 6 years ago? Poorly written article.
Besides, there are SO many loopholes in the property tax system for people to slide around, over, under and through. Also, he could just be an a-hole. There is always that.
I DON'T think that we are getting the whole story...knowing the way the media write these stories.
we need to abolish the method of setting property taxes by “progressive” tax methods, in which you pay more for getting the same city services as everyone else, just because your property has a “higher assessed value”, and whether higher or lower your taxes go up just because the assessors determine a new “assessed value” just because the POTENTIAL value of the house has gone up, if you were to sell it, acording to new “market values” - but neither of those conditions, both of which make your taxes higher, provides MORE service/services to you for the higher tax.
does the more “expensive” household in town get “better” or more police protection, better roads in front f their house, better administration of their business with the city administration, better sewers and water, etc.? No. So why should they be paying more? Because it is easier to squeeze more out of “most” of the local people if “most” of them will think in class envy and class warfare terms, and assume that “at least that guy over there with the biger house” is going to have to pay more than they will
it - property taxes - do not have to be done that way, and not doing them that way would help reign in local spending excesses, because everyone would participate EQUALLY, not proportionately to their “worth”, in any tax increases, with the totals of the cost of each kind of local city service translated into a fixed cost per household.
“progressive” taxes are not about being “fair”, they are all about making it seem easier to extract more, and getting away with through promotion of class-envy
Welcome to the new America — creating homelessness one bankrupt taxpayer at a time.
Remember then the left flipped out because a volunteer/private fire department let a man’s house burn because he didn’t pay for the service, even after he was warned once after a close call?
That story was all over CrapBook pointing out the failures of “right wing reality”.
But they have no problem stealing a man’s home.
