@DrNeilStone Because they should be. Hidden taxation is how government has been allowed to expand
People should see and feel the pain of taxes at every level.
@Djof@B_R_Covi@fuckyouiquit As a middle class libertarian I know poor people exist including many in my own family. 80% of them are poor because of their own decisions and seeking the easy path of life. Not because society did something to them
I don't know who needs to hear this but if you do not like the amount of property taxes you pay get involved in local government and school board. Your taxes are directly impacted by how much those 2 entities are spending. Also a mortgage has nothing to do with taxes stop conflating them.
@Adam_and_EVs Grok is still the best meme generation, and grok never tell you no or changes history for a "modern audience" like the big 3 models who all have politically biased adjusted outputs
@FlakeSamael@BowTiedCrow Places have tried that and failed. We are a nation that thinks 1/3 pound burgers are a smaller than 1/4 pounders. People will see a $25 sandwich is walk out.
@MacroMadeSimple@middle_class_us Every person I know that is extremely bad off has 2 or 3 negative factors working against irrespective of inflation. Drugs, alcohol, lazy ess, metal issue,. Etc
@S1andyy@CarolinaLion2 Om 1/2 burgers are still 1/2 the cost home cooked and that is higher prices for my area I could get that 25% off shopping sales or even further if you buy beer line I do in bulk annually 1/2 cow at a time.
@TaglesTopGuy Pretty sure the walkable city people live in closets with no kitchens so they do not have fridges and these are the same people can understand unit prices and bulk purchases. Their mind would be blown out if I show my freezer with a 1/2 cow in it...
@JohnDoe14629@Tony_Royle@gptsiolis Thinking there are 0 downsides I believe is the problem... Nothing ever has 0.down sides and glp1 certainly is not downside free
@maggistratus None of those are valid, try not paying your income taxes and see how much property the government will still cease for non payment. I have no idea what escrow has to do with anything. Rentals pay more not less property taxes in most jurisdictions.
@4minutes4peace@CryptVanWinkle@BonkDaCarnivore This is incorrect, gas taxes fund state highway and interstate. Gas taxes do not fund minor city streets and county roads those are almost always property taxes or grants.
@CarolinaLion2 Those are loss leaders but It still saves money. A comparable home-cooked meal is about $2.50โ$3.00 versus $5.00. you still save just not as much if buying a normal combo meal
@a19hv@SeeDaneRun@FedEx same reason why credit card fraud is never stopped even though it could be.. it is not a but providing good service or being accurate it is about liability shifting.. by scan the package as "delivered" somewhere they have shifted the liability and that is all they car about
@PapalOrthodixie No doubt that taxes are way too high in totality however I want to point out there are 3 levels of roads, gas taxes normal fund 2 of the 3, states highways and federal interstate, they do not fund your local streets and county roads that is what property taxes fund
@FrankSterling22@GypsyD24 Further mcd success is largely due to the enforcement of national standards, uniform procedures and marketing. The individual store employees are not key to their success sorry that is just the reality
