Property taxes should NOT be abolished.
There are people running ads in the state claiming, or suggesting, that abolishing property taxes will lower people's taxes. No it won't, at least not for the middle-class. It'll just shift the taxes someplace else, probably to highly regressive sales taxes.
A property tax penalizes people for holding onto property that they should sell. For example, your neighbor moves out of his house and buys a new one across town. He decides to keep his old house. But, because no one lives there, the appearance rapidly deteriorates, creating a neighborhood eyesore. I like to think that such people are paying some sort of penalty for that, in the form of property tax.
Sales taxes are NOT regressive.
People who spend less, pay less. Very simple.
"Should sell"...Who the fuck are you to decide what should and should not be sold!!!
This is typical statist central planning bullshit that libs support.
And once again one of you greedy fucking libs admits that taxes are a PENALTY....
What fucking universe do you come from. "Leave the property vacant an allow it to deteriorate." You are a clown with a computer.
Maybe that kind of thing occurs in the shit hole in which you live, but it does not happen in most places.
People own property on which they do not occupy hold that as an investment for their future or they use it for income.
Many of you libs look upon this with seething hatred. You cry "it's NOT FAIR for someone to own all that property. Those rich fucks. I want the government to PENALIZE them because that RICH fuck offends me!"...
Blow it out your ass ,you greedy bastard.
NO need for you to reply. You're on ignore from here forward.
