It used to be illegal to tax a man’s labor and his property.

Medicals costs keep going up, and until that’s addressed, it won’t be possible to fix insurance.

Last I knew NYS was still slow-walkimg compliance with the SCOTUS’s home equity theft decision.

Wonder how many other states are refusing to comply...

Property taxes mean people will never actually own their homes.

They will be renting them from their government.

What are the “acceptable” forms of taxation?

Unfortunately, health insurance is a giant scam that pays a large part of the Republican Party’s campaign bills.

Didn’t like MTG at first, thought she was just a bomb throwing bubba chick. She’s grown into her position well since.

She’s been right on nearly everything lately.

No property tax could be considered if we didn’t tax the income of those without property.

And she’s right about health insurance. Total scam that is a drag on our economy and country.

Property tax is also a tax on Unrealized Gains. The same as if the government taxes the stocks I am holding, not selling.

Home owners are taxed twice. First, taxed yearly on what the government perceives your house to be worth, THEN taxed again when sold, on profits made over $250,000( from memory).

It is a scam on Americans. A relative had a house in Chicago, he finally moved out of state. He bought his house about thirty years ago, for $65,000. He sold it for $280,000. He thought he did well until I reminded him to add up all the taxes he paid over thirty years….it was well over $100,000…..then adding up the house insurance paid over thirty years….

I have “good” insurance (comparatively). Paying cash for some procedures (MRI’s, etc.) is cheaper than what you pay after applying insurance.

Health insurance is a problem in the sense that people won’t save money to pay medical bills. They will just show up to the hospital and expect to be treated. And, for better or worse, our society won’t accept the hospital just letting those people die.

The left wants to confiscate all private property and wants the means of production to be owned by the collectivity.
It can’t do that just yet, so it does the next best thing: it taxes the hell out of them.

It imposes the “property tax” on anything substantial that you own: car, house, boat. It goes into your paycheck and takes whatever it wants before you even see a cent.

Been saying it for decades. It is unconscionable to tax a home!!

Government needs to spend far less money. The payroll transparency of government workers must end now!!

Property tax is managed by the states.
Nice idea but its dead on arrival.

Property taxes do more to induce socialism than nearly any other thing, by allowing government to grow and grow and provide more and more “services” and social dependencies on said services until they become normalized. Unfortunately, they are in the domain of state and local governments who will not give them up without bloodshed, so no federal policy that I can see will change anything.

Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia advocated for the abolition of property taxes and described health insurance as a big "scam."

I don't see where any of this is wrong.
