We will never own our property as long as property taxes exist. They must be abolished.

[@chromelemon]

So youre cool paying a 22% sales tax?

[@noname-oe9jy]

@@chromelemon I'm cool with paying INCREASED sales taxes. As long as it's proportional. Local governments also need to trim the fat off of their budgets. Time for them to pull up their boot straps. No one should EVER have their homes taken. I'm 1000% not cool with having our homes taxed with threat of confiscation. Paid for with dollars taxed, built with materials that were taxed when purchased all delivered on taxed roads with taxed vehicle and taxed gas.

@@noname-oe9jy Well if we want to do away with Property Taxes then we need a way to fund the State. Sales tax is the largest contributor to the state budget.

Individual single family home property tax is unconstitutional. Unless the property is earning money by running a registered business at that address, or by it being a rental property.
