My mom paid off her house in 2003.
Thought that was it. Thought she was done. Thought it was finally hers.
Property taxes were $1,800 a year back then.
She’s retired now. Fixed income. Same house. Same neighborhood.
Property taxes are $24,000 a year.
That’s $2,000 a month.
On a house she already paid for.
She’s 71 years old and the government sends her a bill every year just to stay in her own home.
You never really own anything in America.
You just make payments to a different landlord.
Wow this is tone deaf & an awful look... no COLA increase on his 174k salary that's more than double what most Americans make on average... they're all too comfortable ffs
Look at this.
Dan Crenshaw, who Unusual Whales showed how he beat the S&P500, has said, "Ya don't let us trade stocks. Don't let us make any money either.... we haven't gotten a pay raise since 2008."
He famously implied that without trading: "You have no way to better yourself" as a Congress person.
