RE: How I feel about the property taxes in my city. Well, about half of how I feel......
Oh how I agree with your sentiments. Oh how much so.
I pay my property taxes in cash, just to remind myself how much of my work is going to pay for our great schools and roads and police and fire services. If I begin to think that they don't deserve my money? I just remember the great words of our former president:
Somebody helped to create this unbelievable American system that we have that allowed you to thrive. Somebody invested in roads and bridges. If you've got a business – you didn't build that. Somebody else made that happen. BHO
I think I threw up a little in my mouth. The "business" that allows me to acquire enough cash to pay my property taxes so I don't loose my home? See, I didn't build that. The "Unbelievable American System" built that, apparently. With taxes. Somebody else made that happen. I'm so glad they allowed me to thrive. Allowed. Where's the mouthwash?
