- 26Posted by freedomforall 1 day, 14 hours ago to Property Taxes Are Theft - Jefferey TuckerIn FL, iirc, if you stay in the same house your valuation does not increase. Only when you sell and get a different home will the valuation change, I think.
So a long time location-stable resident has lower taxes than a new resident or one who has moved to a different home. - 27Posted by freedomforall 1 day, 14 hours ago to Property Taxes Are Theft - Jefferey TuckerWon't the 'assets' still have 'market' value based on what others would give for it (assuming you have the right to sell it)?
I think I have missed your point, LH. - 28$3,400? I guess that's an average amount, but nowhere near what so many people pay. Ours were at $9k when we moved out of TX to AZ (just assessed at $4k to pay at the end of this year), and now my son's are in the $15k range WITH Homestead exemption (much bigger/nicer house, but good lord, that's a lot). The only way to suffer less at this point is to move to someplace nobody wants to live....
- 29As long as the government controls the amount of debt your FED note represents you own nothing anyway. All it takes is for the government to use ALL the debt in your notes to finance new government spending/debt and your assets are worth nothing.
The FED Note (debt owed to the banks) instead of certificates of precious metals held in the treasury, is the greatest scam, lie ever made. Inflation is nothing other that prices equalizing to the amount of debt removed from your FED note to finance government over spending. That is impossible with certificates and deadly with Debt Notes. - 30Bravo! +1
- 31Just be prepared for your state to institute an income tax...the money is going to come from somewhere.
- 32AMEN!

Charlie Kirk, Comforting Iryna...

"Look down now... You mattered. Your tragedy is creating change. Over the years you will have saved countless lives!" - 34Me dino's brother Joe, who this year moved from Hoover of Birmingham to a home he had built in Tallahassee, is going to really like this!
Just by moving from Alabama he also escaped having to pay a state tax. - 35Me dino am impressed, Captain.
Also impressive was seeing Iryna sitting alone with the captain, "If the justice system actually worked." - 36Posted by CaptainKirk 1 day, 16 hours ago to IN THE MEME TYME SUNDAY PAPER EDITIONYou had an extra space: Amoral Compass!

- 38Posted by CaptainKirk 1 day, 16 hours ago to Property Taxes Are Theft - Jefferey TuckerLiving in FL, I feel I should comment on this.
First, taxing a home on its increased value is WRONG (it is an unrealized gain).
Second, All tax on growth should BACK OUT Inflation. As 90% of real estate gains are just inflation.
But I LOVE this idea. I would settle for limiting the tax to the purchase price. My house was $122K when I bought it. I paid it off decades ago. They say it is worth 545K now. My insurances was < $1K/yr. It would be > $9K/yr now. Double whammy. My insurance+taxes are now BIGGER than my original mortgage.
Now, my taxes are protected with Homestead exemption. But they are really increasing. From $1,400 to 2,400, now 2,800 with the recent acceleration being insanely fast. The 2% cap is helpful, but NOT after 30 years. And the more expensive the house becomes, the 2% becomes bigger.
Income tax is slavery.
Property tax (on sale/purchase) is fine.
But it begs the question. How do we pay for the services we do get? Schools, Fire Depts, etc?
Put me back to $1,400/yr (Tax on Purchase Price only), and I am good. But another 35 years in this house is going to be costing me more than ever.
BTW, Anyone else like the idea of DeSantis as a Supreme Court Justice! - 39sometimes things can be too true...
- 40Posted by JohnRandALL 2 days, 3 hours ago to Property Taxes Are Theft - Jefferey TuckerWe have TABOR, the taxpayers bill of rights, that limits taxation in Colorado. But the Dems are trying to figure out a way around it. They want to spend more money on homeless hotels and light rail that runs empty, while the roads are full of potholes, bridges falling apart, and graffiti, trash, and homeless camps are everywhere.
- 41Should read, an "Immoral Compass" !
- 42Posted by JohnRandALL 2 days, 3 hours ago to Property Taxes Are Theft - Jefferey TuckerIt's true. You never really "own" your home, just because the mortgage is paid off. Bravo to Florida and Texas! Unfortunately, I am stuck in Colorado, where the Denver Dems are a billion dollars over budget with the state budget, and trying to figure out how to get even more tax money out of us.
- 43Dems split and their mascot quits, now what do we do with them???
- 44Posted by JohnRandALL 2 days, 3 hours ago to IN THE MEME TYME 9/15/25 EDITION: Dem DeclineCrime now! Murder is a human right! LOL! The insanity of the left right now. Excellent ones, OUC!
- 45Posted by JohnRandALL 2 days, 3 hours ago to IN THE MEME TYME SUNDAY PAPER EDITIONWell done. Except one thing, the Dems don't have a moral compass.
- 46Posted by ssipress 2 days, 11 hours ago to Meme of the DayActually, I think MSNBC's headquarters (and a few others) give them a run for their money in that regard.
Then there's the US Capitol, Pentagon, FBI Headquarters, etc. etc. etc... - 47And that simple statement says it all.
- 48Posted by mccannon01 2 days, 19 hours ago to A Republic Overrun by LawfareIf the dems win the mid terms we will see a lot of this.
- 49Posted by mccannon01 2 days, 20 hours ago to IN THE MEME TYME SUNDAY PAPER EDITIONThanks for posting, OUC. The well chosen memes speak truth for themselves.
Branco's perp is erroneously a white guy, though. - 50Posted by katrinam41 3 days, 4 hours ago to IN THE MEME TYME SUNDAY PAPER EDITIONThis Gulch tells the truth, no matter what the cost. My hat is off to you, Carl. Those three strips say it all.
