@pbpost what's "mind boggling and insulting" is the fact that FL counties have increased their budgets in the past 5 years on average 45%, while population growth has hovered around 2%, and school enrollments have declined between 4-11%.

but you'll never report that, will you?

@klara_sjo retarded karen,
each lane should be used until a merge is forced,
then alternate - or zipper - merge,
if this is you, karen,
you should be in jail for assault with a deadly weapon,
good luck with that 😂

[eric @altericscott]

@TRHLofficial yes, putting "full stop" at the end of every take is annoying. full stop.

[eric @altericscott]

@GaryMarcus and yet @OpenAI just bought @tbpn a daily podcast that regularly gets about 163 @YouTube views for somewhere north of $200,000,000 . . .

oh, that's ok. because the tbpn founders, beavis & butthead, are "fast, long time friends" with @sama, ultimate truth teller, sam altman.

[eric @altericscott]

@WPTV sounds great! let the layoffs begin . . .

hey, let's start with county administrators and school administrators, and go from there.

[eric @altericscott]

@BriCritically @garrettshanley @GovRonDeSantis stop saying "unrealized gains".

more often than not, there are no gains at all.

counties have no way to annually determine fmv!

yet they continue to make it up.

and if the market determines they're wrong, the taxpayer has no recourse at all.

that's theft by gov't.

[eric @altericscott]

@4TaxFairness @SenRubenGallego let's get this straight - if I borrow against something I own, you are going to tax that, do I have that right, ruben?

this is out-and-out theft.

[eric @altericscott]

@Kelley4Florida the only thing that's a disaster is 67 county budgets over the past five years that have increased on average 45%.

[eric @altericscott]

@MaryEllenKlas please explain "soviet style"

since soviets had no private property ownership class

as they literally seized all private property on behalf of the state . . .

we'll wait . . . 🤮

[eric @altericscott]

@WallStreetMav don't disagree at all.

but I question why you would avoid pointing out the fact that property taxes - on average - have DOUBLED since 2020 in FL?

when you couple this with insane hoa fees, you literally price entire segments of would be condo buyers out of the marketplace.

[eric @altericscott]

@ChrisMartzWX well written.

beyond that, I would only ask how any county is able to accurately assess annually, the fmv, of anything?

the truth is they cannot. it is impossible. yet if you sell for a loss years later, you cannot go back to the county and demand a refund AND THAT'S THEFT.

[eric @altericscott]

@kylamb8 yes.

I bought a home in 2005 in broward, sold it in 2010, after 11 months on the market, for a LOSS.

my property taxes INCREASED every year during that period.

the truth - the county has no accurate way to annually assess a fmv. it was a sham then, and it's a sham now

[eric @altericscott]

@SunSentinel "counties would lose . . ."

so says these sycophantic morons . . .

hey idiots, explain to all of us taxpayers in florida how these counties are gonna lose something that was never theirs to begin with?

we'll wait . . . 🤔

[eric @altericscott]

@MikeKelleyPHD Collins is just Donalds, lite.
same, just less of . . .
.@j_fishback is the only real florida first choice.

[eric @altericscott]

@MiamiHerald not true, but it would be great if it was!

- from 2020-2025, school enrollments are DOWN 11% in miami-dade, and trend that is only growing, yet the school budgets continue to increase double digits every year . . . any journalists out there care to question why that is?

[eric @altericscott]

@SunSentinel this headline is just comical.

if accuracy meant anything, it would read,

"legislators, who's entire existence revolves around extracting ever growing amounts of money from tax payers each and every year, hate desantis' property tax proposal . . . "

I wonder why that is🤔

[eric @altericscott]

@MikeKelleyPHD .@ByronDonalds = @AIPAC.

so you'll get israel first.

he'll destroy florida because he couldn't care any less about florida . . .

elect @j_fishback, keep florida first.

[eric @altericscott]

@HollyBullardFL if "twitter isn't real life" then why are you here, holly?🤔

[eric @altericscott]

@HollyBullardFL lies. I bought a home in 2005 in broward, sold it in 2010, after 11 months on the market, for a LOSS. my property taxes increased every single year during that 5 year period.

the county has no way to annually estimate FMV. it's a sham. it's always been a sham. stop lying.

[eric @altericscott]

@Jorge7117679666 @MayorDaniella now do @ReadyBroward broward county - ft. lauderdale and surrounds -

believe it or not, it's considerably worse . . .

in broward, the ave household income - THAT'S FOR THE ENTIRE HOUSEHOLD = $78,000.

the ave take home (+ benefits) for a county employee = $95,000.

theft.
