Our seniors should not pay property taxes.

Imagine being so broken that you enthusiastically want senior citizens to pay MORE in property taxes. Reminder: Many seniors live on a fixed income... not to mention paying property taxes on property they've "owned" their whole lives. It's sickening. Leftism = Cancer of the mind/body/soul

Our seniors should not pay property taxes.

boomers cry about property taxes because their homes have increased so much in value (they love that part) but they’re mad they have to pay taxes based on the higher value of their homes (they think that part is unfair.)

My 95 year old grandmother pays $2000 in property taxes & another $3000 in school taxes every single year on a house that was built in 1850 that is falling apart. She was widowed in 1973 & as a single mother of 6 worked everyday of her life until she was in her mid 70s. She gets $10,000 a year from the federal government to live on, but once you subtract $5000 in taxes she is left with $5000 for the rest of the year to buy food, supplies & bills. Are people really this uneducated on this issue? Oh my god.

I don’t know what the solution is, but I do know it’s not right to see someone lose their home bc of skyrocketing property tax rates after spending 30 years paying it off. Especially people on fixed incomes, like a lot seniors are.

Seniors should not be priced out of a house they already paid for because the area around them got more expensive. They didn’t suddenly get richer because Zillow says the house is worth more. Most of them are living on fixed income, paying higher insurance, higher utilities, higher groceries, and then the tax bill shows up like they somehow got a raise. People can argue all day about how to fund schools and services, and that part does matter. But making older homeowners keep rebuying the same house every year through property taxes is exactly why so many people feel like ownership is never really ownership.

When did YOU pay a 16% mortgage rate?

“Woah, you got Friday night Pizza Hut and Blockbuster, McDonald’s after little league, AND went to Local Casual Sit-Down for a family dinner? What are you, the Rockefeller’s?”

I’ve never seen a family in a cybertruck. Just an ugly dude by himself.

The first house I bought was less than half my income. It was a 540 sq. ft. shack. I remodeled it, enlarged it, sold it and bought another. No reason in the world you can't do the same if you want to badly enough. Easier to sit back and blame others, though. I never found success until I learned to blame myself. but I also never thought it was impossible like you do. That is self-defeating. As you think so you are. Pick up a copy of the old book "Think and Grow Rich" by Napolean Hill. There are lots of others.
