The next time someone complains about their property tax going up, I'm going to scream! [View all]
The disconnect is astonishing and you don't have to be a political science major to figure this out.
When Republicans give billionaires taxcuts, there is less money coming into the Federal government. When the Federal receives less, they send less money to the states. No one wants gas taxes or sin taxes, yet the piper has to be paid somehow for everything from highway maintenance to local festivals.
In simple terms, giving taxes cuts for the upper 1% has a ripple effect and property taxes are one of the few avenues left to pay for local needs. If you don't want your property taxes going up, STOP VOTING FOR REPUBLICANS AND TAX THE RICH!
