I’m glad I own my home, mortgage free.
Glad for you.
I rent and am unamused by this turn of events involving illegals.
You never own your own home. Although you've paid for it, in many states, its a permanent serf/master relationship with the government
In NY State for example, county and local school taxes usually add up to at least 3% of assessed value - every year.
Not picking a fight. Awesome that you paid off your loan.
Don’t pay your taxes and tell me if you still own your own home.
On that note. I wish every service would be fee based. If you want the fire department to respond to your home, pay them. If you want the police to respond to your home, pay them.
You don’t feel the need for either, don’t pay them. If your house goes up in flames or is broke into, you’re on your own.
If you want homeowners insurance, I’m betting that the insurers will mandate you get the services. Your decision.
As for schools, the minute your kid graduates, school taxes decrease every year by 10%. After 10 years, no kids in school, no school taxes.
Nice house you got there. Looks like you have extra rooms. Our illegal guests could use them comrade. Nice of you to volunteer.
We can can fit five families in the space you luxuriate in!
Wait ‘til the federal government imposes a tent city on you. Don’t think they won’t.
