“This is crazy!
They oughtta just raise property taxes on....
on......
....on all the bulldozed neighborhoods of Detroit.”
Considering that you can buy houses in Detroit for $5000, at current valuation, how many houses does it take to get enough property taxes to pay the salary of even one teacher? If you throw in a homestead deduction from the valuation, I’d bet the taxing district would have to pay homeowners.
Geeze, assumming they taxed a home at 100% of valuation, and disallowed homestead exemptions, it would still take a dozen or more.
You are giving libs the pass on rational thought.
The way they would figure is thus: One house bought for 5,000, 5, or 50,000, does not matter. We need 100 k for teachers, divided by the number of homes owned in the area. Let's see, one owner, so, you owe 100 k in taxes. Simple, straightforward lib math.
