I don’t want to hear anyone’s defense of the personal property tax.
You should not have to pay any taxes on property you (allegedly) own after the sale of purchase. That’s the whole point of private ownership. Am I right?
The police, firefighters, and schools can be funded through a consumption-based sales tax on optional purchases that are not required for actually living. And, if you don’t have kids that are in school, then you shouldn’t be forced to pay for public schools at all. For instance, I have no kids (yet), so why am I paying for others’ kids to go to school?
Also, if everyone in a community uses the same basic services, why do people with more (or more valuable) land get taxed more to pay for the same things?
And still, nobody has answered my other question. If we have to pay property taxes on land (and even vehicles in some states), then why is furniture not given a property tax? Why is your cookware not given a property tax? Why are clothes not taxed annually because that’s property too? Right? Why is it only land, motor vehicles, and equipment that get taxed on an annual basis according to the value the government determines it to be?
The only fair tax to levy are consumption-based sales taxes (on non-essential items) at the sale of purchase and tariffs on imported goods. But if you insist that there mathematically must be an income tax (which I haven’t seen the evidence for because you’re really just admitting that government spending is out of control) to ensure that things get proper funding (assuming no fraud is occurring, which is naive), then it should be a flat tax. High income earners should not be punished because they’re successful.
Estate tax needs to go.
Inheritance tax needs to go.
Capital gains tax needs to go.
The payroll tax needs to go (along with the Social Security Ponzi scheme it funds).
Annual registration fees also need to go.
The property tax makes no sense because it is applied inconsistently and selectively. Again, why are land and vehicles taxed annually according to their value, but not other property?
The income tax would only make sense if it were a flat tax applied to all income brackets at a low rate (<15% federal, and very small at the state level—or even nonexistent altogether where tourism is high, like it is in Florida where there is no state income tax).
The sales tax is the only tax that makes fiscal sense. When other taxes are lower, people spend more because they have more disposable income. And, the rich would pay more because they buy more luxury items. The poor would not be hurt (like claimed) because most of the things they’d buy wouldn’t be taxed.
Instead of defending the status quo, we should be looking for ways to downsize the government, reduce spending, and in turn give people more money in their pockets to spend at their will. That is true freedom in an American sense.

@GuntherEagleman We can only hope. He needs to step up, expose it all.

@ThrillaRilla369 When the Left pushed the scamdemic, everything went up. All insurance, vehicles, building materials, property values... Once they find out they can get the higher price, that price will never come down again. The Left f'ed us!

I support the ethics committee’s investigation and believe Eric Swalwell is no longer fit to be a Member of Congress. He should be expelled from Congress.
I want to be clear: I had no knowledge of the allegations of assault, harassment, and predatory behavior against Eric Swalwell.
I trusted someone who I believed was a friend, but it is now clear that he is not the person I thought I knew.
The women who have come forward have shown courage. They deserve to be believed, to be supported, and to see justice served.
