WE need to cut taxes on everyones property. I dont see how this is morally right to require someone who OWNS their land to RENT it back from the state. Please tell me Im not renting my property from the state. If you fail to pay your "RENT" they will take your property and sell it from under you and then if that doesnt pay your "RENT" you owe some more. If you dont think you "RENT" try building something on your own land without permission.
How do you propose to fund schools, for example?
PROPERTY TAXES ARE OUT OF LINE, WAY TO HIGH AND IT SEEMS NO ONE CARES. IF I SPENT MY BUDGET LIKE THE GOVERNMENT DOES ID BE BROKE. ITS EASY TO RAISE TAXES, BUT IT TAKES A REALISTIC PERSON TO SAY LETS CUT TAXES. TO MUCH GIVE AWAY, NO ONE HELD RESPONSIBLE, TO MANY GOV. JOBS, I HOPE TAXPAYERS WILL WAKE UP THE GREEDY POLITICIANS WHEN 2O1O COMES AROUND. WE SENT THE MESSAGE LAST ELECTION, TAKE HEED.
