Why should anyone be forced to pay property taxes. The state doesn’t buy the house you did. You bought the home, improved it, put a mortgage on it and paid for it. The state collects sales taxes & business taxes to fund services.
Imagine the 70 year old who owns a home today valued at $2M - they bought 30 years ago for $50,000, maintained the house for 30 years and finally paid the house off - Why should they or their heirs pay any tax much less on the increased value?
They will say, “who’s going to support the roads, police, fire department and schools? Sales tax & local businesses can support those things.
For those who support property taxes understand you open the door for the state to collect taxes on ALL property; boats, cars, clothes, art, bicycles, gym equipment, grills, tools, silverware, jet skis, stocks, retirement accounts - everything.
27 states reassess annually, and the rest, do so every 3 years OR lie California, any time you improve the property! It’s brutal and it’s endless!
If you support property taxes on personal property you are either;
a) a communist
b) confused
c) academic
d) free loader
End Property Taxes!
@dallascowboys@NFL AND…JJ is laughing all the way to the bank. He has the most valuable sports franchise on earth. And everyone thinks he’s not interested in winning??? He’s already won!!!
Mr. Saban is regarded as one of the best coaches in modern-day sports. His record in U.S. Colege sport is second to none…
His message in the video below can be useful for us all. Wake up with the attitude that nothing is owed to you. This emphasis on the word ‘nothing’ evokes personal responsibility. It orients the mind towards action for the day ahead.
Psychological science would look favourably towards Mr. Saban’s message. In particular, personality psychology, and even more specifically the personality trait of conscientiousness.
To be conscientious is two aspects: industriousness and orderliness. To be ambitious and to be organised.
Mr Saban speaks to the dangers of the over-emphasis of talent, of complacency, and of not paying attention to the detail. All mini killers of the personal pursuit of excellence.
Mr Saban is suggesting we wake up with conscientiousness in mind - a can-do mentality, action-oriented, ready to execute the detail.
Not easy! But with the right environment around us, and with mental skills and mental techniques locked and loaded, possible. Very possible!
Conscientiousness- the trait of excellence!
Nick Saban said, "There are 3 things we can't have: We can't have complacency, we can't have selfishness, and we can't lose our accountability."
Great teams are connected and committed.

Selfishness
Nick Saban said, "What's happening in the game is more important than any of their individual deals."
Great teams create a culture of selflessness, togetherness, and shared responsibility.
It comes from their goals, their standards, and their spirit.
Complacency
Nick Saban said, "Complacency creates a blatant disregard for doing what is right."
"Success is momentary, it's not continuous."
Success hinges on doing the work, while complacency is full of indifference.
• It erodes your discipline.
• It affects your focus.
Nick Saban knows the biggest threat to winning comes from inside your locker room.
With one powerful quote, he laid out the 3 things you can never allow.
Here's him explaining it (with video): 🧵
