Tax-and-Spend Liberals in City Government Were All Voted In
Democracy is supposed to work best when it gets closer to home and to local communities, away from Big Government puppet masters in DC. But does it? Voters who support tax-and-spend liberals in local elections tend not to know what they’re doing, preferring to see the candidate in terms of some other emotional association. Nice smiles, pleasant grooming, and colorful yard signs leave a more lasting impression.
Families struggling to make ends meet often don’t have time to dig deeper, what with both parents working in many homes. But it’s really not that hard. City councils who vote for property tax increases are always divided into two simple categories: those who support tax increases and those who don’t.
You won’t hear about party affiliations because liberals from both parties have long since chosen “tax and spend” or “spend and tax” as their personal slogans. Being “Republican” or a “fiscal conservative” only means that they want your vote, no matter what.
Yet is it humanitarian to take away every extra dollar of a family’s hard-earned money? To be sure, the cited “needs” will always be the high-profile things that everybody always supports: law enforcement, fire protection, and the like. Do you want to leave a policeman without ammo when his life depends on it? No mention that the city “diversity officer” might be cut as an alternative.
Tax-and-spend liberals almost always are insulated from property tax increases. They all have munificent government pensions from one source or another. White collar criminals know that if you steal a little from each person, few will notice or come forward to report the crime. But stand back to notice how quality-oflife is slowly draining away.
Perennially fresh articles like “Taxes are forcing you out of your home” remind us that waste in city budgets will never be tracked down and highlighted by tax-and-spend liberals. If conservatives can’t be bothered either, then voters deserve higher unnecessary taxes of all kinds. Three excerpts seem to stand the test of time:
1) Taxes Taxes Taxes everywhere, but not a buck left to spend! Anyone who is still breathing and coping with a medicated society and head games, knows that disposable income is falling faster than a sinking U.S. Dollar. The root cause of a fading prosperity can be directly traced to the amplified theft that is reverberating throughout an economy of smoke and mirrors. Add it up and read the bottom line. If there is no indignation, the robbery will just escalate.
2)The essential question is can you afford to own your own home? If you have an escrow for property taxes buried in a mortgage payment, you may not notice the real cost of funding retirement checks for slugs who once graced the public service gravy train. If you start to feel the pain, ask if you would dare buy your own home at the prevailing bubble market asking price?
3) As long as the property tax is viewed as a legitimate method for revenue collection, the antics of deception will be the law of the land.
Schadenfreude is a term that depicts – pleasure derived from the misfortunes of others. What possible explanation can be made to justify the hideous and detrimental expropriation of subsistence from middle class Americans? Living peacefully in their own home is rapidly become a luxury. The hard luck of watching your property soar in valuation as your ability to prevent a foreclosure tax sale, faces all too many of our neighbors. The politician may lay claim for rescuing the widows or the orphans, but the bureaucrat delights in sending the sheriff to serve notice.
The solution is to roll back the size and scope of all government. Funding government schools, superfluous services and lavish pensions is unconscionable. As the burden of confiscatory taxes are shifted upon individual states and local counties, by a central government that refuses to pay for insane mandates, the home owner needs to fear a breaking and entering by those who allege they protect and serve. Ponder your future when paying your property tax. A little time in the face of your resident board of assessors might prove the best use of your home improvement budget.
