A local news report is about homeowners upset about the appraised values of their property. I can only say: "Welcome to my world". Sometimes an official protest works, but taxing authorities are run by minions with canned answers. They don't care, they are paid to harass you for your money, and they have people with guns to guarantee they receive what they steal with legislation. It's just like the mafia, except they want you to believe it isn't.
It's gonna get way worse. Soon.
ReplyDeleteThe issue with taxes... especially at local levels is people want the services that come from local taxes but get mad that they have to pay those taxes.
ReplyDeleteLocally, too much of the money for services pays exorbitant salaries, graft, really stupid projects, and incompetency. My taxes went up the 10% allowed by law, yet trying to get drainage improved is a lesson in futility.
