Yesterday a video of a Manchester, New Hampshire Committee meeting was posted to YouTube. The meeting took place on May 24th but there was extremely disturbing and interesting commentary made by a Manchester Alderman. Apparently, the topic was property taxes and tax credits for the elderly. The meeting was a Joint Committee Meeting on Education. Education being the largest chunk of expense for any property taxes.

"I’ve got an 85 year old woman that lives across the street, and, and she won’t give up her house, she’s sitting on $350,000 dollars and she can’t afford it anymore and you’re saying (pointing to Alderwoman Shaw) give her a tax credit….NO, we should have a program that GETS HER OUT OF THE HOUSE….. I mean, we need to get new people to come in and, and, ‘occupy’ those houses. We can’t be run by the elderly in a city…that, that, that’s foolishness."

I’m not a bleeding heart liberal. I used to be. Then I took my brain outta neutral. :-)
I said most of the Medicaid rolls around here are indigent elderly. That’s true. It also includes folks who’ve stashed their assets so they can live off OPM.
Life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. The Constitution doesn’t give us the right to all that on someone else’s nickel.
My problem is that property taxes are so high that an elderly woman cannot live out her life in the home that she owns. The idea that she needs a tax break, to be able to continue to pay them says that taxes are too damned high.
The democRAT in question simply believes that she should be pushed from her home, so that someone who can pay those exorbitant taxes will take her place. Who thinks like that?
That he wants to “warehouse” her in senior housing where they can strip her of the $380K is part of his plan.
...and they keep being billed for it through property taxes. What a pathetic scam.
“Actually, the elderly are very cost-effective. They do not use the public school system.”
And therein lies the problem. The elderly are, for the most part, beyond leftist indoctrination. The schoolchildren, however, need to be indoctrinated before they reach voting age.
Did you see where Soros is stashing his money? It was posted on Twitter today by Huckleberry News.
Of course he wants the elderly out, they’ve been around long enough to know better than voting for a Dimocrap.
Democrats become more Nazi-like every day and that is NOT hyperbole.
