π₯ BOOOOOOM π₯
Hereβs hoping other states follow.
I fully expect them to dude. There will be pitchfork marches to each State Capitol if they don't.
Long ago POTUS mentioned about getting rid of Federal Income Taxes & IRS...you know the way he does about everything. A mention, then more and more frequently until a drip becomes a flood. He mentioned Property Taxes and shrugged then said, 'who knows'. I told my husband watch and see, all of this illegal taxation is about to end. He didn't believe me over 8 years ago, but now he does. πΈ
Toss the pitchforks aside, we got rifles and lots and lots of em
I thought they were lost in boating accidents.
Only the ones bought through FFLs have to be lost in that manner. Private sales are private.
Iβm not sure what kind of drugs youβre on my brother.
Weird
And donβt speak on my behalf at all.
You called it over 8 years ago...
I knew you were a fellow time traveler!
Knew it!
π
I heard news that Trump just said something g about hiring all the laid off irs agents back today.
I second that!
ohhhhhh YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
My Texas governor is a follower, so I'm sure Abbott will announce the same. Wish Abbott would have lead this for once in his political career.
Werdz, what's your general take on Abbot? I do not live in Texas though plan on retiring down there someday so I try to watch things somewhat closely.
I just don't trust the guy. But curious to get your thoughts.
Btw, we are retired here. I'm from Texas, hubby from Michigan. Funnily enough, my husband was recently talking about moving to Arkansas as they are very favorable to retirees.
He is not a leader. He goes where the wind blows once other governors stick their nose out. We vote for him over and over because there was not another republican choice that could beat him.
I've heard Dan Patrick might run against Abbott. He's our Lt Governor. Not sure of his chances as most Tx republicans love Abbott.
Edit to say: I just wish he would lead first and actually be stronger that he acts.
None of the Texans I know love Abbott. They're all conservatives though not "republicans".
You're right, DaddStop. But I'm talking about the ones that follow local news and have no idea that Abbott is a rhino. Or the ones that simply do not follow politics and have no idea what is going on in the world.
These are the sheep republicans.
We voted for Lt. Col. Allen West..
Abbott is a rino. He kissed the wall.
Hope so here in Ohio, but DeWine is a cuck. And Iβm not in favor of Ramaswamy as the next guy, personally.
This is SO IMPORTANT! Seniors who have paid off their mortgages, have to "rent" their home from the county, which assesses the value much in excess of what they paid for it. The property tax is forcing people from their HOMES that are FULLY PAID FOR! The property tax is in excess of rent! They seem to WANT to force people from their homes by confiscatory property taxes!
While other people vote every election for higher property taxes.
I'm retired and have paid property taxes now for 30 years in this house. House is paid off, but I still have $850/month in property tax.
850? Holy shit.
A MONTH ??!!!!!!
Robbery, pure & simple...
Yep it screws people on fixed incomes badly. I used to not believe in gentrification but when you have people selling ranches to tract home developers that is what you get. And Californians paying 10% over asking price of a home to shut down any sort of bidding wars.
And taxes on your vehicle, drivers license, gasoline and diesel, inspection fees!
I hope so. Mine is nearly $10,000 per year in Florida
Yes property taxes and insurance went crazy in 2024!
Just a reminder than DeSantis signed some draconian COVID lock down legislation. He should not be trusted.
Yup. A broken clock is right twice a day, but it IS still broken (and, otherwise, wrong and useless).
That's a huge win.
Yes... unbelievable! We're not tired of WINNING!
"Let my people go!"
Ok. What prevents Bill Gates and Blackrock from owning all of it and making us serfs?
White Hats.
Florida real estate market will explode when this becomes official.
E x p l o d e !
You said it! Real Estate Agents must be jumping for joy! π₯
Yep and Californians will flock over there because they love anything "cheaper" than the economy the agreed to inflate through negligence in California.
God I wish we had this in the UK. It's mad that you have property taxes even when you pay off your mortgage and supposedly now "own" it!!
Praying for you! π
Housing boom in Fla in 3, 2, 1..
I may have to move to Gator land.
So who pays for the schools, libraries and salaries of local government police and fire departments then? Inquiring minds wanna know.
Same question here. However, getting rid of public education is not a problem for me. It's the emergency services that I wonder about how we'll pay for.
I live in an unincorporated community. We have volunteer fire dept. public school can gfys because I pay for them to turn kids into gays and trannies and I don't even have kids. Most of my property taxes goes towards that garbage in fact.
Freedom requires it.
Freedom requires land ownership via allodial title. Fee simple (which is what our current ownership model is) means the government can tax or take your land (with "fair" compensation of course) anytime they want. Allodial title is the only way to truly own land, contract between you and God, everything else is condition ownership.
They need to fix hurricane insurance first. At least my taxes pay for schools roads parks and other services.
Hope Windstorm is next!
I can hear the moving trucks being loaded up now!
π΄ππππ
Yea go Florida!
That would be like getting a Huge monthly raise! Home taxes are ridiculous.

Do Alaska next please
When is Florida getting rid of those asinine 'red flag' laws??
When a politician says "severely lower or end" it means "not end."
Eing replaced? Wher have you been. It was replaced long ago. We are taking it back.
