Can you really call yourself the land of the free and home of the brave if you are forced to pay 40% income taxes and taxes on property you own.

Well it's a lot cheaper than europe

Valid points.

Is it really though

They get healthcare. We get a wall....in Israel.

It's Hell in so many ways.

Re: I'm voting for Bernie over Trump in 2020, if that's the match up. Trump's failed.

Well, the Democrats will win, the children see no way to survive with huge college school loans, wages that have not risen with the cost of living for 30 years now, elderly and sick cannot afford medical insurance and medicine now, homeless population is increasing beyond anything ever witnessed, the Country is destroyed by more and more politicians and endless laws everyday, and all the money being kept at the top, and all the slaves sinking further into poverty


All of this talk about the Border the Border, well, we used to take in 300 a day to support for life, now, they report we are taking in 800 a day.


American citizens need to find a way to get a Hard Money Loan to escape this Country.

My daughter's friends in Sweden have University Degrees for free, spend 10 dollars a week for food, and eat well, have governement assistance because they do not earn alot while going to school to pay for their rent and bills, and are compensated by government enough that every Summer these girls travel to vacation all Summer in other Countries and go to concerts and have fun.


My daughter's friend here now from Germany due to Merkel destroying their Country, hates it. He in his early twenties, had the best of everything in Germany, drove a new BMW, had a University Education for free, and made incredible money, and here, he has 3 roommates now, and can afford nothing, and has a shitty job.

All the Elite in this Country have delighted in going up to Babylon to murder and steal from everyone they can, and just the greed for everyone's things, even stealing from the poor all the can, is profound to me in itself.

Didn't used to be sixty years ago. Gee I wonder what changed.

They got all that because the u.s. took on the military burden for them.

Please PLEASE tell everyone else in the world what a shithole it is. Tell them it’s the shittiest place on earth. Tell them now!

Freedom isn't free, just like free energy isn't free...you simpleminded idiots...

We have both...well, I have both

Op... Really... Probably you are right, in a way.

Friends of ours were flipping houses.... They did OK.. but then got beat up in taxes. They stopped.

I sold my house. There was supposed to be a once-in-a-lifetime excemption if you sell your house after a certain age.... If you sell your primary residence.

I'm in a quandry... because part of my house was rented... the once-in-a-lifetime exemption may not apply... This is still being discussed with my tax preparation people now.

It can be tough out there.

You are the biggest piece of shit ego laden homo alive.

they will take your guns away and finish the job !

Berney is another elitist motherfucker posing as a socialist !

nope he is just a self fucking self cocksucking shemale narcissist !

No.

Freedom costs a buck o five

Gotta be a Jewish number like .99 cents plust 7% tax = $1.06

Land of the thieves and home of the slaves.

My property taxes keep going up and the gun-grabbers want to take my guns.

Something ain't right

Yep, it’s embarrassing seeing the brainless masses waive their flags. Free to do what you are told.

You can go anywhere you want and it will cost you your keep, unless you are a sucking welfare creep there only to rob the people of their taxation.

My keep has been paid for over and over you organic portal. When is Satan and his minions going to pay for their keep?

We are the new ussr....police state, mass surveillance, corruption in high places, loss of freedom of speech, most prisons in the world, citizens starve whilst immigrants get it all for free, high taxation, etc.

As long as Brief has his everyone else is an idiot for pointing out the obvious.

OP is right, there is no ownership. The banks end up with all of it in the end. They own it all now, they are just renting it out till they go balls deep in the next person that thinks they are living the dream.

YOU'RE CONFLATING A LOT OF UNRELATED STUFF. I GET IT, BUT IT MAKES IT HARD TO UNDERSTAND YOUR POINT.

PROPERTY TAXES OFFSET SERVICES, LIKE POLICE DEPARTMENTS, FIRE DEPARTMENTS, LOCAL ROAD MAINTENANCE, PUBLIC SCHOOLS, LIBRARY, TRASH COLLECTION, ETC. IF YOU LIVE SOMEWHERE THOSE THINGS ARE PROVIDED TO YOU FREE OF CHARGE. IF YOU OWN THE PROPERTY THEN YOU PAY FOR THE SERVICES VIA PROPERTY TAX, IF YOU RENT IN THAT AREA YOU PAY FOR IT IN THE FORM OF YOUR LEASE AGREEMENT AS A PORTION OF THE RENTAL.

INCOME TAX IS SOMETHING ALTOGETHER DIFFERENT AND UNRELATED TO YOUR PROPERTY. THERE ARE SEVERAL STATES THAT HAVE ZERO INCOME TAX AND ZERO SALES TAX, MOVE THERE.

IF YOU WANT ALL THE THINGS THAT COME FROM LIVING IN A WELL ORDERED COMMUNITY THEN YOU HAVE TO EXPECT THAT THERE'S A COST FOR THOSE SERVICES.

HTH.

I dont live in a cookie cutter community and dont expect any help from anyone. Maybe that is the problem here.

What are you going to do if your house catches on fire?....use the hose?

You think the fire department could get here in time to save the house? Lol.

What am I gonna do if it turns into toast? ....Rebuild.

I don't mind paying some taxes..fair taxes..we need roads, schools, sewers, etc etc..No state income tax in TX but that is partially offset by higher property taxes

Come on, humor us, OP

Nope.

We aspire to that though.
