@garyboomer58 Oh look another boomer who wants more handouts for theirselves. You get enough free money from social security and Medicare stop whining and pay your taxes
@insidegapol Oh no Atlanta raising the cost of property taxes by $93 a month what ever will you do???
Buddy it goes to the city to make it better. Helps to get rid of the potholes, employee the city workers/police/fire. Property taxes don’t go to the state and benefits the city, numbnuts
@TraceyRyniec@Bellemosse Average homeowner is over 55. Millennials 15 years ago would be 15 to 30 years old, with most of them being 23. 15 years ago, the average homeowner was 40.
If you’re smart enough you can see that it’s the same age group today and 15 years ago who were the homeowners, boomer.
As an upwardly mobile young white professional, if you didn't want this outcome perhaps we shouldn't have locked this cohort out of career progression and homeownership for the past ~15 years.
People don't rebel against systems that benefit them!
@iamtexture@PatrickHeizer Then they should move into a home or with their family. No one is entitled to a life of luxury and the boomers are the first generation to believe so. If they couldn’t prepare for their own future and were poorly set up by their parents, it’s not our issue.
While we're talking about Social Security, remind yourself that retired people get significant tax breaks in all 50 states.
They had decades of rising home prices and stock markets to save, already get multiple significant tax breaks, and they still want more.
It's well past time for Boomers to pull themselves up by their own bootstraps.
@MmisterNobody The only good thing it did was increase the tax revenue. Imagine how much worse the debt would be if they didn’t get taxed for the past 70 years
@thetrueshelby I know it’s hard when a lot of you can’t read past a 2nd grade level, but it’s the same things you need when you go to get a Real ID, which you need to drive or fly nowadays.
But keep complaining that “women have it so hard” in 2026
@Beebz05 Have you been in a boomers house? They’re all hoarders. They spent what should’ve gone into a retirement account on materialistic items and are crying that they can’t afford property tax increases and need social security to be increased. Their crap needs to go somewhere
Everyone’s calling for socialism in America, but we already have it. You just need to be 65 or older to qualify. It’s called Medicare and Social Security and it’s the two biggest reasons why the deficit is so high.
@4TaxFairness@SenWarren If you couldn’t save for retirement in the greatest era of wealth creation of history, that’s your own fault and you deserve to be working until you die. We don’t feel bad for you
@stelzner_n1150 That’s what happens when they all believe their house equity should be their retirement fund instead of them investing their whole adult lives during the greatest investing era of history.
They’re just mad they made bad investment choices
@supplychainldr@jlippincott No one feels bad for you. The stock market is up 18,000% when adjusted for inflation (and with dividends reinvested) since 1980. If you didn’t take part in that wealth creation, it’s your own fault.
@ruwaromman Because corporations pay a state or federal tax that doesn’t benefit the town or city. Not all cities and towns in Georgia have corporations, so where would they get their funding from?
Property tax benefits the citizens of that town/city, getting rid of them hurts you
@joesterns@RonDeSantis Then don’t buy a house if you can’t afford it
We also wouldn’t be a country if the founding fathers didn’t allow tax to be in the Constitution, so it is inherently an American ideal at its core, since we wouldn’t be here without it (bankruptcy after the revolution was imminent)
@beyond_capital So you don’t want to pay for schools, roads, police, parks, anything else that benefits your town/city? Nothing goes to the state or Feds
