Taxes should not be upon the people but on provided by tarrifs

America as a nation has taken it on the chin financially so the rest of the world could build themselves up and now they have all turned on us , we are only seeking reciprocal trade tarrifs ...

Kris, you are 1000.00 % correct 👏 in your analysis. TAXATION WITHOUT REPRESENTATION!! This is exactly what happens when we trust our government to do the right thing!! We have been lulled to sleep at the wheel by the "lies" from our own unsuspecting government. "TIME TO WAKE UP" and be counted!!

AGREED 100% - We are indeed being scammed and I felt this 100% even before reading your article. You have just reinforced my gut feeling on the whole of this. And I also still do not trust Ron Desantis - especially with his wife now running for office. Property Taxes is immoral and must be abolished.

On the matter of Death Taxes - in dealing with a sibling who recently passed away in PA -- they have this crap Death Taxes. His estate was nothing worth speaking about. He was basically poor and yet a large part of what was left behind is taken off the top by the State such that it cannot even pay its remaining modest bills. THIS is a HORROR. It is UNJUST and THEFT. I COULD SCREAM ABOUT THIS ON AND ON!

OH - and with the Covid stuff - the property values were skyrocketing to the point that in our area (WI) sales people used the term sandbagging - where buyers would near immediately add money to the asking prices to just try to beat the other people competing for a home (sometimes sight unseen). The residual inflation to the neighborhoods is now kicking in to jack up the property values and thus the Taxes. But this inflation was artificial and not sustainable and soon the values will fall and the communities will have to readjust again in the other direction. But by then their budgets will be inflated too and the cities & towns will then somehow have to suffer (especially if what I suspect is coming for ALL IN USA+). This coming thrashing will do no one any good. DANGER DANGER WILL ROBINSON - DANGER!!!!!

It's happening in Arizona also. Our beautiful citrus orchards are being decimated so more houses can be built and sold for inflated prices.

This is happening in Kansas right now the 161 acre field behind us was annexed three years ago and there are plans to turn it into houses, duplexes, and a shopping center, despite protests from the community. There are already unsold houses in our neighborhood. I want the land for a non-profit that would leave it largely untouched and benefit the entire city. 😡

You are correct about property taxes. My family FLED the "socialist republic of Maryland" and mafia run Baltimore county because of those taxes

Also, unfettered spraying of poisonous endrocrine-system disrupting gypsy moth aerial spraying. Not to mention filth being taught in the public school system and punishment of children for a Christian-based public service volunteer initiative to satisfy public school volunteer requirements.
