Get rid of Property Tax.
If my home or dwelling is on a property and I own my Home. I shouldn’t have to pay for the Property it’s on. Maybe the exceptions should be, only if I am paying off a mortgage. And then once payed off the property tax stops.
Or the property amount should be included in the mortgage and the price of the home.

That goes to your state not federal. So that needs to be brought up there.
They should make it a federal law if enough people want it. Washington State and Seattle and King County are very corrupt and that won’t happen unless they are made to do it.

Yes, the fact that you can lose your entire home and land because of unpaid property taxes is absurd to me. I believe safe shelter is a basic human need and right. We already have a problem with homelessness and we’re doing virtually nothing about it. And things like property tax on a paid off home increase the risk of homelessness. It is government robbery in my opinion and I’m absolutely positive the founding fathers would not be ok with it.

My house and parents house has been paid for, for years. Yet we still have to pay taxes. For what? They aren’t teaching our kids better, roads still have pot holes, bridges have major pot holes ( in pa)

Once we own the property it should be ours. Taxes became a very crooked way for municipalities to make money to enlarge the government. The other thing we need to look at is government authorities and utilities allowed to put a lien on the property as well…

Property tax is just another form of redistribution of wealth. As seniors age they are definitely at risk of losing their homes due to property taxes.

I can understand a one-off tax payment when you buy a house
But paying taxes every year - that’s like paying rent to live in your own house
And if you don’t pay, you can lose your house. So essentially, the government owns your house.
Property tax is slavery. Get rid of it.

I agree on a one time tax when you buy your house if it is a new house, however if you are buying a house that is not new the person who originally purchased the house has already paid the taxes on it.

State uses that money to help fund. Our state doesn’t mistreat it. But we r a red state.
We should not have to be paying any property tax on something that is yours or you already own. And if the home isn’t new and you bought it. The people who had the house before you already payed the property taxes. It doesn’t matter if you are in a Red or a Blue state… it is 100% B.S.
They will then raise state taxes on everyone and if u own 1 acre and your neighbor owns 30 then your going to be paying higher state taxes all year bc you don’t want to pay for your 1 acre. They will find away to get it to keep the state running.
Of u own more than one property you pay taxes and all businesses. Find a way the states doesn’t have to raise the state tax.
If we farm we don’t pay on ours in our state. Which would be right up RFK’s ally.
Our state tax is low low. Texas is extremely high but they do not pay state income tax.
States and local government is mandated to follow the Constitution and Bill of Rights.

Fourteenth Amendment: This amendment, ratified after the Civil War, is the key legal mechanism expanding the Bill of Rights protections to state actions through the “incorporation” process via the “Due Process Clause”, meaning states cannot deprive individuals of “life, liberty, or property, without due process of law.”
-
Fourth Amendment: This amendment, ratified on December 15, 1791. “ The Fourth Amendment of the United States Constitution protects the people from unreasonable seizures by the government:
-
Protections
The Fourth Amendment protects people’s “persons, houses, papers, and effects” from unreasonable searches and seizures. The landmark Supreme Court case Mapp v. Ohio in 1961 established the Fourth Amendment applies to the states. Ongoing property taxation effectively nullifies citizens security of home ownership.

My state of Delaware totally misuse the misuse the money? The schools are terrible but they keep raising the taxes. Also the school teachers are always begging for materials for their craft class, etc. what are they doing with the money except to pocket it?
Before the election they took our tax money and had free concerts at the park for the liberal candidates who spoke and campaigned at the concerts.
These people should be jailed for misusing tax funds.
Of course they stole the election again, only liberals got voted in.
