Yes, yes and yes. You can pay off your house, but the property taxes never go away. Enough already.
Curious though how we would fund the local government without some property tax. True that they are way too high in many areas, but wouldn't a reasonable property tax be the most fair since property owners have the most to benefit from functioning infrastructure?
Sales tax
I am all for a consumer tax where EVERYONE pays.
Agree
That thinking shows you are still dependent on the system. Still a slave. Let go of the idea that it is necessary. It is a LIE.
I don't think we want anarchy.
We dont either??
There are many ways that local governments make money. Here's a site that shows some of their revenue. https://www.taxpolicycenter.org/briefing-book/what-are-sources-revenue-local-governments
Don’t we have local taxation? On top of the Federal Taxation.
But only home owners and land owners are taxed! Those that live in Apts. and Fed. Housing don't pay property tax., Well maybe on the car they drive.
It's rolled into their rent so it's invisible to them, did you think the landlords pay the property taxes out of their own pocket?
But what burns me is that a property owner or corporation may only get a few votes versus dozens or hundreds of votes on say a school referendum or infrastructure updates, of course they will choose the Cadillac plan (if they vote) because they won't ultimately be paying for it as much as a single residence property owner will.
