This is exciting. Property tax has escalated in a serious way here, and it bound to get worse. Millage increase votes are often scheduled at oft-times, and only municipal and school staff seem to know about them.
Yeah we’re almost $6,000/yr - insanity - and what do we get for it? Shitty roads, shitty road maintenance, schools closing due to budgets but a lot of cool stuff for the tourists in the summer!
Nothing worse than when they try to get millage increases and hold you hostage, saying that they can't pay for police, roads, schools, fire department, etc. and send out their bullies to stir up a scene.
Hell yes.
Also fuck whitmer
Isn’t Michigan like.. basically an Islamic state now, or are there still Americans there?

Your third link lists 241K.
Out of 10 million.
And a significant portion of that is Dearborn and the like. 2.4% of the population does not make it an "Islamic state", and frankly that's a pretty shameful statement to make of any state. Even New York State, which is astronomical, is only around 4% of the state population.
Is there a problem? Yes, absolutely. Does the math show your fantasy narrative? Not by a long shot.
Americans are the majority, even still, even with the invaders forcing their way through.
Yeah, I know what they stated the numbers at in those links. They’ve also listed the number of illegal immigrants at 20 million for over 35 years. We know they lie about numbers. I tend to assume the numbers are a minimum of 2-5 times bigger than reported at this point.
Anyhow, I didn’t state a fantasy narrative, but asked a question because there’s an awful lot of commentary about how bad Michigan is.
Basically, the question was getting at, “oh nice, so wait till the Americans have been driven out, then get rid of property taxes, huh?”
Yes, it’s a leading question that assumes the premise, but you’ll forgive me for being a bit salty on this subject. It’s just a reflection of my lived reality.
I don't know why you got downvoted, I understand the frustration related to it because I feel it myself.
Michigan is only bad in certain Detroit / metro areas, a lot of the state is still beautiful and there are still mostly decent folk. It is fun to visit the northern parts of Michigan especially, as far from Lansing and Detroit as possible.
I'm sure the numbers are definitely higher than they portray, but not overwhelming (yet) otherwise every time I traveled anywhere in Michigan I would see the hooded women everywhere. I do see them sometimes, but the further you get from Dearborn the less it becomes noticeable.
I suspect it's the same in any other state with high numbers. I also suspect that they congregate towards some of the very rundown areas, and I sincerely believe that "we" are creating a new inner city black class.
But we need to hold on to reason and understand that we really are the majority, because we'll see the other side of the tunnel at some point and the only way we'll get there is by holding on to faith and hope.
I assumed it was you, but am glad it wasn’t, as I tried very hard not to phrase the response poorly.
Glad to hear you have firsthand witness of it as well! Cheers, fren, and thanks for the info!
It was a good and fair assumption, but I try my best to avoid downvoting anyone speaking honest opinions in good faith.
I apologize also for my initial post, I let my frustration show through a bit by adding the fantasy bit. I actually had run into a group of Muslim women this very weekend, and I cringed because of it.
There's observable truth to what you say, I just don't think it's as bad as such yet. I think white leftists are still the primary obstacle more than any other.
I could be wrong, though.
Lol my comment about the downdoot got downdooted!
I must have my own personal downdooterer!
Great response.
Michigan has had a large middle eastern community for many years. Not all are Muslim, there is also a large population of caldean Christians. Outside of Detroit there are few middle easterners.
Thanks for the info!
Let's run this campaign far and wide to all states!!!
Yep - we had 1 on the ballet today (south Louisiana). It was not widely publicized. I voted NO!
Wait… you voted against ending property tax?
It was a renewal of a millage. Not for the ending of property tax. But hey it's a start.
Oh you had me worried … for a microsecond.
Same here!!! You had a judge to vote for too?
I'm collecting signatures for this.
Yes, I already signed the petition. Property taxes must be eliminated otherwise you never own your property. After you pay off your mortgage, they can cease your property if you fail to pay your taxes. It is bullshite. Raise sales tax if you must, protecting property owners is a priority.
I pay 10 grand a year in property taxes. Our school district now has two pools, 3 football/multi use stadiums and two fieldhouses, the last built being 59.4 million dollars. Both of our Middle Schools have better on campus sports facilities than many colleges. Then they repave my road and I get a 20 grand special assessment spread over 10 years and I dont even get a say in the process. The couple hundred feet in front of my house didnt cost 20 freaking grand. No curb and gutter, no sewer of water work, no gas lines or underground electric, but 20 grand. Grrrrrrr taxation is theft.
Clever slogan
Do Missouri next!!
Thay needs to happen in all fifty state for all developed residential properties.
Would we rather have property/county tax than state tax?
Voluntary consumption tax only, no involuntary tax on the sweat of my labor.
