They are free to not paying anymore taxes every again.
Let’s make ritual abandonment great again; float these selfish fucks out to sea.
People making less than 270k/yr shouldn’t be taxed until everyone is in that tax bracket
unpopular opinion:
I agree with them… kinda.
if you live in your house, that’s your home and you should not pay another rent based on its price.using price of home for taxes causes every government official from mayor up to at best not really care if houses prices go up or actually fight policies that lower it.
I see a lot of people here that advocate for property taxes as a progressive tax but I don’t see it that way at all.my take is government should tax empty houses and rents for landlords.
it is a mistake to follow Neo-liberal thinking of “you are the landlord of you own home” which is prevalent in financial world to make homes investment assets and count rent as GDP which make government be happy that number go up.
I hear here that “boomers” like high price of houses so they “deserve” punishment of high property taxes.
but if you live you own home and don’t make money of it, you don’t get any positive from house prices going up. most “news” about someone selling their house for a lot of money and going into smaller house is just them needing that money for healthcare and living, not investment.and this mentality makes a self-fulfilling situation that prevent from actual affordability of houses.
fight for high taxes on empty houses and rents. don’t make people living in their own homes renters of government.
You do get positives from your house price going up since you can borrow against the equity.
But property taxes pay for a lot of things, like schools, so if we’re getting rid of that tax revenue it has to be made up somewhere. I doubt there’s enough investment properties and landlords to make up that difference, and if that ended up being the new source the cities would try to kill personal home ownership.
TLDR; people who benefited from the world order and are now sad that they have to pay their share.
I didn’t have children, but I’m happy to pay property taxes. Property taxes pay for schools and I don’t want to live in a society with stupid people. *
* or stupider than they have to be
Property taxes paying for schools is a remnant of redlining. More affluent districts with nicer houses end up with more funding per student, and “bad” areas where minorities live because of literal centuries of economic disadvantage continue to get shafted.
I think we should ditch property taxes and replace them with much higher state-level progressive taxes that are distributed so that every public school student gets the a good education.
the problem is that every state that has done that has shit education system now. and the states that have the best public education are the ones who are most reliable on local property taxes…
that’s often because in education throwing money at problems isn’t the answer. bad school districts often pay more per kid than good districts do and get far worse outcomes.
education is a cultural problem, not a money problem. rich areas with good taxes tend to value education a lot and push their children to succeed, and they do. poor areas, don’t do that.
i grew up poor. trying to be a successful student was socially punished by everyone in my community. they all wanted you to be failures like themselves. my own parents would take my book away from me and harass me for ‘being a nerd’. they wanted me to sit on my ass and do nothing all weekend like they did.
stupid people don’t want their kids to be successful.
Most countries don’t do the absurd funding the local public school using the district’s property taxes thing, but they still have property taxes.
Oklahoma has state taxes guess what it isn’t helping anyone most definitely the poor. Not sure what they do with those funds but it doesn’t go to roads or helping schools.
The song, “Uplift the Dream,” is one of 20 tracks on an AI-generated album specifically designed to rally support for eliminating Ohio’s property taxes.
Ew. But AI is also selfish and soulless, so I guess it’s on brand for people not wanting to pay taxes.
Americans to be taken aback at their taxes. Property values have exploded over the last few years, causing some homeowners’ tax bills to grow by hundreds or even thousands of dollars annually
Am I too unsympathetic that I don’t feel like $100/mo is a big burden? People’s rent goes up by as much, but I don’t expect these people are in favor of freezing the rent.
Then we’re going to have to starve the beast, and that’s the expression we use — starving the beast.
I’m pretty sure starve the beast is a well known conservative slogan , but it really should flag someone as anti-american and also a fool.
It’s entitlement. They believe that they deserve to coast off into the sunset. They aren’t willing to contribute to society.
That extra amount per month can really screw with low/ fixed income people though, I feel like there should be something to help with that.
They can easily solve the problem by selling their overpriced homes.
Property taxes should act as a mechanism to promote increased density. If you can’t afford the property taxes on your land, that’s probably a sign that more people should be living on that land.
That brings in the discussion of zoning reform which these very same people would never support.
I understand the politics of it, but that doesn’t change what the right thing to do is economically.
Well… hoarding all of the generational wealth and then crying about the taxes being to high for you to keep it isn’t really the right thing to do either. We’re on the same side of the argument, but that won’t make anything change.
The most boomer attitude ever. I don’t want to pay taxes that support the community because I don’t have kids.
Fuck you and your entitlement. You are not an island and can’t just decide to pay for whatever services you deem necessary. How do you think roads are maintained and fire stations funded? Or the police?
You want to go back to private fire departments who serve only the rich who pay them instead of public services?
It’s funny to me because I previously agreed with them 100% - when I was seven. Around age eight I could see the value in investing in communities. I was and am not an unusually intelligent person, yet I figured it out. What’s their excuse?
they’d rather buy a nicer car.
$$$
And the demand for more
“I’ve amassed all this wealth and now that I’m retiring I no longer want to fund the system responsible for my success. Also, fuck welfare. But not Medicare. Dont you care touch my Medicare.”
Literally will never pay for their consequences
Don’t ever believe that Elon Musk has your best interest at heart.
Land Value Tax, now.
