@hughlaurie I think people are trying too hard to make the simple complex. Reading through the comments that have spawned from your original post I question the education system yet again.
The radical left has always been more violent than conservatives. Violence against SUV's, now violence against Tesla! They virtue signal by selling their EV and buy a gas guzzling SUV's???
@DailGerry@blugblord993@BootsWH@TheGreenOldDill If I purchase something for $100, and someone is willing to sell at that price, a value has been established, but if someone else is willing to purchase the same item at $200. Why should I pay taxes on the value they set because they suck at negotiations?
@DailGerry@BootsWH@TheGreenOldDill Had a client a few years back that had to sell hers after her WWII vet husband passed because she couldn't afford to pay the taxes. They purchased the house in the late 50's. Now that area near KC is highly coveted, and values skyrocketed. Of course taxes went thru the roof!
@BootsWH@ancap24@TheGreenOldDill Hmm, My taxes in Johnson County, KS went up 14% this year. My home valued at just under $200K has a property tax of $3200. A WWII vet client of mine passed and his widow had to sell their home purchased in the 50's because she couldn't pay the taxes. Lived there 60+ yrs. :(
