Dad, Son, Brother, Uncle, friend and Hubby. very proud Acadia Alum. I'm a lover of all things local, interesting and always look for something new to learn.
Hypothetically…….. I’m being taxed on money I never made. Let that sink in.
If I bought my property outright for $60,000 in 2009
Now the county says it’s worth $246,000.
Did I sell it? No.
Did I make a profit? No.
Did I get a check for $246,000? No.
But my taxes jumped like I did.
That’s the problem.
This isn’t income.
This isn’t cash.
This is a number someone decided on paper — and now I’m being billed for it.
If my stock portfolio doubles, I don’t pay taxes until I sell.
If my income doesn’t increase, I don’t magically owe more income tax.
So why does owning a home work differently?
Why am I being taxed on unrealized gains?
A house isn’t just an investment — it’s where people live. And this system means you can do everything right, pay off your home, and still get squeezed harder every year because of a number you never turned into money.
You don’t truly own something if you can be taxed out of it.
This isn’t about “services” or “inflation.”
It’s about being charged for value you never received.
And people are starting to notice.
This needs to be on everyone’s mind✔️
JD Vance is lecturing the Pope on Catholicism and Pierre Poilievre is lecturing Mark Carney on economics and RFK Jr is lecturing scientists about vaccines and Donald Trump is lecturing the world on tariffs and Pete Hegseth is quoting Pulp Fiction and thinking it’s the Bible
If Melania truly wants justice for the survivors of Jeffrey Epstein, she should start by demanding the full release of the files and answers from her husband on why they moved Maxwell to a club Fed.
The wonderful Brenna Perez does what she does best, she nails it. As Joni Mitchell wrote ‘You don’t know what you’ve got ‘till it’s gone’
Malignant narcissism can be fatal I’m afraid. Trump is doing what he always does looking to bully people to fix the damage he’s caused. The threat to withdraw from NATO unless he gets his own way is becoming tiresome just like his tariffs.
Each day he has to come up with a new lie about it will end soon, so that markets stay onside. He’s embarrassingly predictable. China doesn’t need to send any warships, its oil is still flowing and it has a massive stockpile.
Xi is just sitting back laughing at Trump making a fool of himself.
