There will ALWAYS be two camps in this argument…
#1) Those who state that we cant afford to keep paying on property that we purchased outright, decades ago,
(and)
#2) Those who state that, if we stop property taxes, the schools, roads, bridges and the sky itself, will fall apart.
In an effort to clarify the greatest infringement on whom…
-
If group #1 runs out of money to pay these taxes (that seemed to be going up every year while the job numbers are going down every year) then they loose their entire home in a Sheriffs Sale for back taxes.
-
If group #2 runs out of funds for social services because property taxes suddenly ended, then this group has the power of the entire community to devise a new form of income to pay for said social services.
RESULTS:
Looks like those in group #1 are gravely impacted EVERY year; and group #2 might get their dander up for a moment until a new source of revenue replaces property taxes.
GROUP #1 GETS THE VOTE HERE!
Final Fun Note: (Socialism finally fails when you run out of other people’s money).
