"So Nobody Is Going to Pay Taxes Now?"

[22lcidw]

1950s style tax rates ar the only thing that will save us at this point.

State, local, city, monopolies, authorities, etc. were massively lower along with the costs of the standard of living. We were still rising nation although cracks were forming as the world reindustrialized after WW 2. The costs of building any infrastructure in comparison from then and today is a joke. And the time it takes to complete infrastructure of any kind was outstanding. The Arleigh burke Class destroyers now cost 2.5 billion dollars apiece. The two classes built in the 1950's are estimated with inflation to cost 100 million to 120 million dollars apiece. In that era, they were 10 to 15 million dollars each. And we had near balanced budgets.

- Republicans: big debt-funded tax cuts anytime.

You've got the fundamentals wrong.

Tax cuts do not require funding.

Spending requires funding.

Becuase investing in the future of the nation you claim to love is so anti-American.

I don't want to pay to indoctrinate children into useless idiots. That mainly what public schools are producing today.

Because nobody wants to pay real money to the people who run them.

It torques me no end to have to pay for schools when I never had a kid in public schools.

If you got a public education you should only pay for the years you were enrolled. For me and the wife it should have been 12 years and done.

Dom you like living in an educated society. Maybe you need a DR some time

Hearing more dumbasses suggesting eliminating those, too.

There's an ethical problem with them, they represent a reality that you never actually own property, you just rent it from the government. What happens if you don't pay them? You get evicted from the property and the state just takes it.

Florida legislature approved a measure that will be on our ballots in November to increase homestead exemption starting in 2027 and I would pay practically nothing.

I agree about paying for schools when you do not have any kids in school. Last one of mine graduated a little over 30 years ago.

The Selfish Don't Recognize Their Own Self-Interest

It's economically fatal to believe that the traditional education only benefited the students and not society as a whole.
