Hypothetically…….. We are being taxed on money we never made.
Let that sink in.
If I bought my property outright for $160,000 in 2009
Now the county says it’s worth $446,000.
Did I sell it? No.
Did I make a profit? No.
Did I get a check for $446,000? No.
But my taxes jumped like I did.
That’s the problem.
This isn’t income.
This isn’t cash.
This is a number someone decided on paper and now I’m being billed for it.
If my stock portfolio doubles, I don’t pay taxes until I sell.
If my income doesn’t increase, I don’t magically owe more income tax.
So why does owning a home work differently?
Why am I being taxed on unrealized gains?
A house isn’t just an investment, it’s where people live. And this system means you can do everything right, pay off your home, and still get squeezed harder every year because of a number you never turned into money.
You don’t truly own something if you can be taxed out of it.
This isn’t about “services” or “inflation.” It’s about being charged for value you never received.
It’s time people start to notice.
@CrainCompany @JakeCrain_@Blain_Crain@davidadamcone 6-7 OU vs 10-3 Navy… please look at the box score. Only one name had a role in this years offense at all that appears and he was a freshman last year.
“Insert said team and if they played today, they beat OU.” - @joelklatt.
I have always respected him. Always thought he was a well-measured analyst. However, let’s play the game:
Had a @caves60 tweet sent to me comparing total offenses of Bama and OU vs common opponents. Hmmm…
@megbasham Pastor Steve Smothermon is literally proof that you can have over 30,000 people who call your church home, filled with real men, and be the most conservative pastor in America in the people’s republic of New Mexico.
