If you pay $3,300 per year in property tax from age 30 to 60, youβll have paid nearly $100,000 in cash as a tax on your own property.
If you earn $25 per hour at your job, thatβs 4,000 hours of your labor. 2 working YEARS of your labor. As a tax on land you already paid for.
The government takes 30% of our wages. 12 hours per week. Hundreds of dollars every week.
This is on top of property tax, which is supposed to fund our local needs, including school.
