Absolutely Rb! There have been family farms in the family for generations, that had to be wittled down and sold off piece by piece to cover yearly extortion demands (property taxes) by state governments who cant manage their spending, but damn sure know how to falsely raise property values (even in up or down markets) to match their yearly shortcomes. Completely criminal enterprise that flies in the face of the U.S. Constitution. Just because a state government participates in criminal extortion, throws a microscopic cut of it toward school donations, and calls it something innocent, like “a tax” doesn’t mean its OK and be allowed to continue happening. These states are WRONG and are STEALING grandma’s meager wealth, which does NOT belong to them. Many know darn good and well, that if these property taxes ended, the states would have another source of funds identified with a couple of weeks to offset the lost grandma-extortion revenue. Many socialists in here play ‘Chicken Little’ and run around claiming that the sky will fall if property tax extortion ends. They should be ignored IMO, since this is the normal behavior of a socialist mindset in the first place. Our elderly need our help to keep their homes – they need us to push back on State Theft of their Constitutionaly-protected private properties. It is our duty as Americans to help the innocent and most vulnerable in our society. If the states have a spending problem…we go to the source of the problem…we grab a buget-cutting axe and start wacking away at state government bloat and fat. Its common sense that you dont bring over 10 boxes of pizza to a 450 pound obese whale every time it hollars about being hungry – you keep it hungry and force it on a crash diet. Same here, with bloated governments. Grandma isn’t your next pizza. Leave grandma alone in her quest for Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of (what is left of her) Happiness. We are talking about grandma’s HOME and modest possessions, for heaven’s sake! Back off! Amen.
