I just received our property tax notice. As I reviewed it, the local entities have it all figured out. Last year, our property value went down, but taxes went up. This year, our property value stayed the same, but taxes went up. In years prior, our property value went up, and taxes went up. So, regardless taxes go up. If you appeal, they don’t care, because everything is up and they are always right. In their world, appetites for taxes are insatiable. I would love to live in this world of theirs, because I am sure in their world, raises in personal income are given frequently. They just keep biting the hand that feeds them and unfortunately that hand will soon be gone if they keep going.
As for our federal government, they have been spending all this money to create jobs, but now, NASA has to cut back, so 9,000 space workers are now unemployed, because we have no money for space projects, but in the same stroke, we are now sending 55 million dollars to Russia to have them launch our projects and supplies into space? Sure looks to me like the government is shifting our jobs to foreign countries now, the same thing they accuse private corporations of doing. Government can create jobs in other countries, but they cannot create any here. Yes, they are in their own world too. It’s time for them to wake up and get real.
