A add amendments to a bill giving a little here this a little here for that but doing nothing to really fix the major problem of the unfair property taxes. Just completely doing away with property the property taxes or allowing a vote by the citizens.<BR/><BR/>Every citizen knows that taxes are needed, most just want a fair way to collect them. Only sales tax allows for that. A citizen who has a home uses no more or less then in government services they one who does not have one. <BR/><BR/>Citizens who have a home help the economy they hire a builder, painter, repairman, landscapers, and invest more then most who do not have a home.<BR/>The home is their investment so they want the neighborhood to remain clean and look good. Same with a landlord the property is an investment too.<BR/>Still anyone that has a home pays a tax every year others do not pay. Why?<BR/>We all drive on the roads, call the police, fire department and use the same services. Citizens with homes pay gas, water, sewage, and light bills. They purchase the materials to build the home, pay to construct the home, yet we feel it should still be taxed and if the taxes are not paid it should be taken away from them.<BR/><BR/>No homes, there be no jobs! If citizens did not bust their butts working to be able to buy a home our economy would not run. Only the ones who desire to own a home feed the economy that why our economy is down. Many are saying why bust my butt to try an buy a home only to have it taken away when I cannot afford to keep paying the taxes. The dream of having a home built America, hence the term homestead. The citizens wanted to own a home. Under our current tax system that dream has been ended. Until we allow real owner ship the economy will never fully recover.<BR/><BR/>We are serfs we have toiled on the land we do not own and the government we have allowed to tax us to death has destroyed the dream of ownership.<BR/>Until we remove the yoke of property taxes from around the neck of the citizens our economy will hand until dead.<BR/><BR/>Our government knows this at all levels and every dollar taken in taxes removes one dollar from our economy for citizens to spend. The ones with homes are forced to pay taxes that removes their ability to pay the repairman, buy a washer, hire the kid to cut the grass and our economy fails more. <BR/>Sales taxes keep the money in the economy and allow the citizens to control how much they want to give to the government to run on. There would be no need for the government to give back the money they should not have taken.<BR/><BR/><BR/>What we see now at state and local levels is the unfair distribution of tax funds in a way designed to buy votes. It will not be given out to the workers who paid it and the ones who pay for all the government gets in funds. It will go the ones who expect entitlements and will vote for the ones you give them to them.!<BR/><BR/>Stop fighting the other workers who pay taxes and be glad some still attempt to have a home. If the remaining workers join together they may just be able to over come the ones who sell their vote for entitlements.<BR/><BR/>Register and vote or be part of the problem. I would like to live and not be a serf taxed and tossed off the land so the government and banks can award it to help buy votes by having it to give at a tax sale as an entitlement.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
