I’m just trying to point out that it’s stupid to tax some people and not others for “roads, services etc” and then when that select group of people fail to pay, they have their home taken away. Meanwhile the people who are not taxed, still get to use those same things.
i.e. Taxing property is fucking stupid. We should just tax everyone across the board.
But somehow I’m the lunatic when bringing this to light.
Indeed, you are not understanding. I do not own or rent a home. So again I ask, why are you paying more taxes than me?
Nobody is disputing the need for taxes or what their purpose is. The issue is that taxing a homestead is effectively a lease, even if not written as such.
It also begs the question, why are you being taxed more than me? We use the same roads, schools and services. Yet assuming you’re a homeowner you’re paying more for the same shit.
I guess a dollar amount could just be expected from every single person regardless of circumstance. Would that be better?
Yes, that would make far more sense to me than tying it to something arbitrary like land. Failure to pay should not result in homelessness. Especially after a lifetime to paying for said home.
Having to continue to pay for something that you “own” does not sound like ownership to many people.
The big one of course is home ownership, despite having to pay the government for the rest of your life.
That’s debatable considering rump has twice now stated on camera that the election was rigged in his favor.
That said, enjoy your popcorn while you can. This train is coming off the rails and may very well effect you personally in time.
No, not in Florida. Other states do however.

Sounds like a keeper!
According to some graffiti, that’s true!
tend to act unconsciously towards my own self-preservation and interest.
I don’t see that as a fault. One must take care of themselves first, then if possible, take on the burden of others.
Many people do the opposite and tend to everyone’s needs but their own. Then they fall apart at some point, never fulfilled.
You may have codependent friends or family like that skewing your perception of what’s best, causing you all this undue guilt.
Um, if that’s a cervix she’s gonna have some complications.
For sure apply that exception as you see fit 🙂 Some things aren’t intended for regular use, but you’re glad they’re there when the time comes.
Have I used it in 6 months?
If no, is it a tool? (keep all tools)
If no, is it worth my time to list/sell it? (eBay)
If no, throw it out or donate it.
It’s a meme, I wouldn’t take it too seriously. Obviously depression is more complicated than just feeling sad.
Anyone who doesn’t rent or own a home does not pay property tax (indirectly or directly). Thus, they are paying less taxes overall.
