So, is there anybody forcing a body to own property and to insure it?
No! Well, I thought so. As long as owning property is a choice then
you choose to pay property taxes and you choose to insure it. If you
borrow to buy then you're also forced to insure the property. It's as
simple as that. Now, if people were forced to own property then had
to pay property taxes and insurance, that would be a different story
altogether. It seems to me if there's any such thing as a fair tax
then property tax sure fits the bill.
It seems correct to me the more property and the more expensive
property you own you should be taxed on it on a percentage basis.
Same percentage whether your property is worth fifty grand or fifty
million grand. But there is help for the lower income folks. There
is a 25K homestead exemption soon to go up to 50K on which the
property owner pays not one thin dime. This helps out the low income
people and sticks it to the rich. Boy are the rich ****s ever
complaining and lobbying AGAINST the doubling of the homestead
exemption. Seems like they don't mind sticking it to the poor but
when they have to pay for their mansions they balk.

The ability to own the land one lives upon is one of the most basic
and vital sources of, and expressions of, liberty. And you act as if
it's nothing more than a privilege? Hardly seems consistent with your
usual politics.
Where have you been? Don't you remember the recent Supreme Court
decision that states it is legal for government to condemn private
property for no other reason than so it can be sold to a developer in
order to increase the tax base? A total abuse of the eminent domain
principle.
So much for the ability to own land. Not only that, but try not paying
taxes on the land you "own" and see how long it takes before they take
it away from you.
Keep electing those Democrats. They appoint liberal judges who legislate
from the bench and take away right after right. Keep blaming everybody
but yourself for enabling these rapists. After all it wasn't your vote
that put them there. Yah right!
