Property taxes on primary residences are a tax on unrealized gains, and the double standard around it is glaring.
You buy a house for $300k with your after-tax dollars. Years later the market rises and the assessor says it’s now worth $600k. Your tax bill goes up—even though you didn’t sell, didn’t refinance, didn’t pull out a dime of equity. You’re paying higher taxes every single year on “wealth” that exists only on paper. That is the literal definition of taxing unrealized appreciation.
Politicians and pundits scream bloody murder when anyone suggests doing the exact same thing to billionaires’ unrealized stock gains. “It’s unfair! They’ll be forced to sell assets!” Yet the same logic is applied to your family home without a second thought. If the principle is wrong for Elon Musk’s Tesla shares, it’s wrong for grandma’s paid-off house.
The common defense—“It pays for schools and roads”—doesn’t hold up as justification for this specific mechanism. Those services are valuable, but tying their funding to the fluctuating paper value of your home creates a system where success (a nicer neighborhood, inflation, or simple supply and demand) is punished with a higher bill. Once the mortgage is gone, you still don’t truly own it. You’re a tenant with extra paperwork, paying annual rent to the government based on an assessment you don’t control.
This isn’t about hating government services. It’s about honest funding. Tax actual economic activity—consumption via a broad sales tax, realized capital gains, or user fees for specific services. Shift the burden to people who are actively spending or transacting in the economy instead of penalizing ownership itself. Other countries and even some U.S. localities have shown you can fund local government without treating primary homes like perpetual leaseholds from the state.
Ownership should mean ownership. Not “you own it until the county decides your paper equity went up.” Abolish property taxes on primary residences. The current system is a wealth tax dressed up as a service fee, and it’s long past time we called it what it is.
When we start seeing ICE agents at Walmart, Home Depot, Lowe’s, check cashing places, etc. I’ll know that we’ve started taking deportations seriously.
Until then, it’s all window dressing.
I wonder if black people realize that boycotting Asian owned businesses will just make those businesses flourish lmao
Any business that doesn’t accept EBT will be better off without them.
Again, we need to apply the natural born citizen requirement that exists for POTUS across government and stop gaslighting the world suggesting there are two types of Islam… radical vs non. ALL Islam is radical, oppressive, violent and dangerous especially to women and little girls. This ancient bloodthirsty political organization cosplaying a religion should be stripped of any religious entitlement and be legally recognized as a hostile foreign violent political organization because that’s what it is and ban it from America
This Judge Zahid Nisar Quraishi IS NOT EVEN AN AMERICAN CITIZEN under the 14th Amendment. His parents were PAKISTANI NATIONALS when he was born in the US. That makes this JUDGE a PAKISTANI CITIZEN, and NOT a citizen of the United States, because his parents did not have EXCLUSIVE POLITICAL LOYALTY to the US at the time of his birth, as require by the 14th Amendment.
Why are these NON-CITIZENS sitting as UNELECTED, BLACK-ROBED, TYRANNICAL, INFERIOR, LIFE-TIME APPOINTED, FEDERAL TRIAL COURT JUDGES, and ordering about our AMERICAN BORN, DEMOCRATICALLY ELECTED THREE TIMES Article II Executive Branch President Donald J. Trump as if he were a mere clerk in their Pakistani court?

We just watched 2 major California elections stolen before our eyes, and cowardly John Thune still won’t pass the Save America Act. He’s worse than Pence.
🇮🇳🇺🇸 Indian businessman Chandrakant Patel faces 15 years in prison for bribing four Louisiana police chiefs.
The police chiefs falsified 650 armed robbery reports, allowing 300 Indian immigrants to obtain U-visas as fake crime victims.
Four involved officers face up to 5 years.
I drove for @hellofresh as a contractor. Thousands upon thousands of deliveries out of one of their warehouses.
The audits were run by an upper-management 'boss babe' who walked the floor pushing crystal therapies and demanding pronoun discipline. The employees mumbled the magic words and went home with pitiful paychecks. They could not argue with the woman who decided if they kept the job. That was the culture two years before the ad. The ad is what happens when that culture stops hiding.
HelloFresh does not even keep its own drivers. They ran on temp agencies. When they tried contractors like me, we cost more than the temps, so they cut their own people loose and went back to the cheapest body they could find. The company that will not pay its drivers fairly will pay a marketing team six figures to write this:
"For those of you who are… prepping… we have an extensive lineup of high-fiber recipes available. Happy Pride."
When a commenter floated the code BOTTOMSUP, the company replied with a real discount. "You ask, we deliver. Literally."
A meal-kit company has told you which one of your holes they want you to load their product into and out of. They capitalize on the gays as colons with credit cards. They think suburban moms are too dim to read between the lines. They think you will laugh and let the autopay roll.
This is the same company the Department of Labor caught using migrant children in its facilities in 2024. They blamed a staffing contractor. They always blame the staffing contractor. The company that cannot tell you who packed its food is the one marketing their products to customer rectums.
@factormeals is HelloFresh. @EveryPlate_ is HelloFresh. @greenchef is HelloFresh.
Same warehouse, same conveyor, same audit lady. Canceling Factor and switching to EveryPlate is moving rooms inside the same burning house.
Cancel all of them. Tell them exactly why in the cancellation field. Buy a chicken from a butcher. Plant a tomato in your own garden.
Burn the box. Bury the brand. Build something better.
We will be a proper country again when these filth-mongers are on trial.
🤬Shrewsbury Mo. Walmart rioting...Started at Skyzone with uncivilized behavior,took it to Walmart parking lot..Police called for medical assistance & backup..These idiots destroy schools,neighborhoods & their communities. Parents should be charged & PAY FOR DAMAGES.
A fight for the ages is brewing over the destruction of Upstate New York’s farmland. I’ll put my boots on the ground there soon. @GovKathyHochul is allowing foreign entities to overrun American farmers with 50 square miles of Chinese solar panels. “Love Thy Neighbor” is now the official battle cry.
What is a 28 year old foreigner doing delivering pizzas? If he is on F1 visa he is working off-campus which is not allowed. If he is on H1/L1, he is working outside the terms of his visa.
And off all the places he decides to do this in the Philly ghettos?
He took a job that was for an America. And in doing so, he took a bullet that was also for an American.
Any person who is on visa in USA can't do a pizza delivery or any such job without a valid work authorization from the USCIS.
USCIS would obviously won't allow pizza delivery for anyone on visa.
F1 visa students can't do any job. It is illegal.
F1 OPT and H-1B visas don't allow anyone to work for pizza delivery.
They need to work for job related to STEM and their study field.
That means he was working illegally in USA, if he was Indian citizen!
Regardless of the situation, may his rest in peace 🙏🏻
Invaders in Japan are asked if they like the nation.
They instantly complain "the Japanese eat too much pork".
Every country that lets them in, they do nothing but moan, take advantage, and ruin.
Remigration and de-islamisation.
U.S.C. 1324 makes it unlawful to bring illegal aliens into the US, transport them in country, harbor them, and facilitate and encourage their entry. Why, then, doesn't the DOJ prosecute "sanctuary" cities, churches, NGOs, and individuals that aid and abet illegal aliens? Where is application of the law?
🚨 HOLY CRAP! USDA Sec. Brooke Rollins CONFIRMS that a swath of blue states are upholding major SNAP FRAUD, while red states comply
"We found 200,000 dead people getting food stamps, and 500,000 getting more than one benefit...IN THE RED STATES. Blue states are SUING US." 🤯
"The fraud is so stunning."
DEMOCRATS ARE SUING TO PROTECT FRAUD
Democrat Party = pure party of fraud
Remember that the UK police arrested and were going to charge this little 12 year old girl after she was assaulted by a migrant rapist. The only reason it didn't happen and the foreign rapist was arrested instead is because of the backlash on social media.
Just stumbled on this article while scrolling my feed… 😂 I didn’t realize the grass roots was pushing for this…
DHS Secretary Mullin tried brushing off the border disaster with that “I can fix a leaky faucet” line.
This isn’t a drip in your kitchen sink. We’re talking over 100 million illegals flooding our communities, crushing schools, hospitals, and neighborhoods.
That’s not a leaky faucet , that’s a full-blown invasion. An actual insurgency.
Americans want real results and sovereignty restored.
That’s why the grassroots energy for Bovino 2028 is building fast.
Patriots are done with excuses and ready to finish what President Trump started.
Who else is fired up and ready to take our country back? 🇺🇸
