RE: "Mine?" A Deeper Look at the Realities of Home Ownership, Taxes and Government...
I guess the real question is not of taxation but rather representation. Do you feel represented by the amount of taxes you pay. I'd venture to guess the answer is not only no but hell no. Here in South Texas the taxes are huge and so also are the pot holes not to mention if you happen to need a city or county servant for some assistance on a given matter the answer is also a no, or we'll get back to you on that after our next budget meeting.
Perhaps it it tine to exercise our mandate as citizens and rise up and over throw our government and demand representation and reform cause it has become evident the current system is broken and the status quo is just..static. Nothing is going to change until the sleeping giant wakes the frak up
Well, you're right... representation might be lacking in many cases. I sometimes wonder why the school taxes are sky high in an area that mostly has retirees and a student body that shrinks every year. Seems backwards.
Anything with government involved seems to be bass ackwards. School taxes? What a waste. What I'd give to find even a college graduate that could form a complete sentence without ending it in "you know what I'm saying". It's so sad, kids graduating high school that stand there looking at you funny when faced with a fraction of an inch on a ruler. Bewilderment and glazed eyes is all you get when you try to explain the concept of placing studs 16in on center. Seems all we are teaching our children now is what to think rather than the skills of how to think and it's a damned shame, embarassing.
