for the record, you couldn't just 'put the house in your parents name'

that's fully traceable.

I just don't think you get it. If you make old people exempt from property taxes, then everybody will just sell their properties to their parents and old people will never move out until they die. 

Older people already get social security. Now you want to exempt them from property taxes? Half of thrm are millionaires too. While young families struggle to get by? No way that's right. 

ANY reduction of property taxes, even if it's only for a "special class" of people, will jack up property values farther out of reach of ordinary people that actually have to work for a living. 

what planet do you live on? lmfao.

you think the elderly are predominately well off? jfc

Because property taxes pay for education. I'd rather live in an area that has good schools. 

there's no other solution? there's no other tax rev stream that it could come from?

yeah. that's one story.

also - legit question - what does it mean that it will be 'turned over to the trump library' ? 

i don't understand. 

obviously, i don't think a president should accept a gift from a foreign government.

however, i'm not sure that this story is true based on what's out there thus far.

where is this 'announcement' that he's going to transfer it to the trump library?

all i know is that taxes & insurance is more than the principal in my mortgage.

and that a lot of poor people pay to rent - not because they can't afford to buy (they're paying more than the mortgage, obviously) but b/c they don't have the credit. 

i'd like to see something change.

and a million retirees that can't afford their taxes after inflation + property spike + the ultimate stupidity of having their SS taxed. 

there's absolutely no rationale for most existing (or more) taxes unless you're a shill or simply uneducated.

Yeah, that's already happening

yes. for the exact opposite reason. 

are you effin special in the head?

exact opposite. 

in case you missed it

lisa, you're 5 seconds from being banned. 

you offer nothing. 

typical responses by the utterly idiotic resident socialists.

if you really wanted to help the middle/lower class, you'd be against property taxes.

the barrier to entry for first time homeowners is dramatically worsened by them. it effects generations. it effects zoning. it effects the entire community and culture.

there are plenty of other tax revenues to cover for real estate, which is a tax on what, exactly? of the land you purchased merely existing? 

but of course you effin birdbrains couldn't extrapolate that, could you? 

that's an interesting question. i don't think their frames will get much bigger. but...

they have gone thru their HS career without staying down at their 'national weight' consistently.

it sort of seems like they are 33/41 but the every-week schedule of college might see them 41/49. i dont think they are any higher than that. 

email me if interested

What's this mean

sounded like the candidate from Africa had a lot of momentum. i wonder if he was 'too conservative' but perhaps that's just me overthinking things.

anyway, i'm happy an American got in for the first tiime.

yes, i think Iowa leads. announcement will probably come next week. certainly within the next two weeks.

i don't think Villasenor is going to go to OKST. he's definitely 'open'

Don’t want to speak for him, though he seems like a pretty reasonable fella, but I don’t believe he’s saying it’s okay.   I think his point is that with the vast majority of people on here, “it’s okay” is not a matter of what is said, but who said it. And that goes all around. You have the most juice here, it’s your board, you should name it Hypocrite City. 
 

And before it even begins, no not a fan of hers at all, she’s not anywhere near center. But she was duly elected, and living in the greatest country in the world doesn’t mean everyone should think and believe in the same. It’s a price of freedom.  Any Minneapolis folks on here?   Gitty up. 

i just think they should all be better. the decorum of politicians shouldn't be a race to the bottom.

i don't think curse words are audacious. i swear like a sailor. but im also not a congressmen.

oh, i thought we were talking about the legality. i didn't realize we moved on to how you personally feel about it. 

lol. 

so illegal activity by an illegal alien is ok with you b/c it was organized by his employer looking for more illegal labor? 

oh, so it's ok? lol

don't do this.

she clearly meant '(you) as a black man'

good god, you're dumb.

'due process' is the latest rally cry for the left following 'fascist'

you don't know what it means.
