> I deal with these struggling young people everyday. I am a landlord of $525 a month apartments. Recently I lost a renter due to the government garnishing 75% of his full time wages( one of the few that have a job)so he could not pay his rent.
We tried to work out a payment plan but in the end he did not have enough money for life after the government seized 75% of his paycheck!! He and his wife and child are now on the streets.
And that’s not even high dollar rent. Therein lies the problem. The government forgets all the differnt ways they tax us (sales tax, luxury tax, phone fees, property taxes, income tax, all these damn regulatory fees we pay when we have our oil changed or receive services , and NOW Obamacare). Its like a patient that goes to several different doctors and they all prescribe him medicine and aren’t aware of each other’s meds so the poor guy ends up taking 5 or 6 (or more) pills a day and ends up OD’ing on them when they kill his liver.
You, know I think all taxes (local, state and fed) should be part of the CPI. There I said it!
