I am salty over property taxes specifically. I busted my ass for years, paid off my house, and was finally able to retire. Now I”m back at work specifically to pay my property taxes, which increased from $6000 to $7500 in the course of a single year.

I understand having to pay a certain amount of taxes for society to function. I have a major problem with the government being able to steal my property if I can’t pay my property tax. What if I fall on hard times? What if I die? Will my wife eventually be homeless? Don’t know how it varies in other states, but in Texas, you don’t really own your house.It’s total bullshit.

To your point, I agree with you. Tariffs were the historical way to go if not abused. Lincoln got greedy with tariffs and the South ended up seceding. There is a sick addiction amongst politicians who salivate over spending other people’s money.
