Dont we all feel like this about Moco?
the council is pissing off people of every class. we need new leadership and more diverse thought i'd elect this guy https://www.wusa9.com/video/news/local/maryland/rockville-man-compares-montgomery-county-council-to-oliver-twist/65-bf645c22-3d2d-407c-af11-7a270fef0e61 |

Looks like textbook “angry white man syndrome”. Just a standard boilerplate maga rant. “Oh, my property taxes are too high!” “You’re spending MY money on brown people!” “I’ll close my remarks by threatening you.”
Fortunately there are more than enough good and decent people in MoCo to drown out violent screaming nutjobs like that a-hole. |
why is it maga? i'm not maga and my property taxes have almost increased 100% in a decade or so. why should I be happy about that. and before you talk about home prices, we havent gotten any better services in a decade to justify 100% increase in property taxes. 51% goes to MCPS and elrich wants a special assessment on top of the increases for Capital projects. maybe you dont care but people are fed up. |
Inflation goes up, house prices go up, and the government raises taxes because inflation went up and everything costs more House prices go down, taxes go up, because government can't pay for the existing services. |
We used to have a charter amendment that required a unanimous vote to increase spending faster than inflation and growth but then Andrew Friedson sponsored an amendment to fix the tax rate, so the county could increase revenue faster by capturing property appreciation. When he campaigned for the charter amendment, he lied to us and said a unanimous vote would be required to raise the rate. |
“I’m not maga!” -then proceeds with unleashing a litany of maga rhetoric about taxes, public schools, and govt services. 😆 Hon, you ARE a maga. So gross. |
| It’s funny how we used to be able to pay for things just fine before we started giving huge tax breaks to developers. It’s almost as if we need everyone to pay taxes in order to afford things. |
No, mismanaging the budget is gross. I’m tired of paying more and getting less |
MAGA trash. |
Developers were given tax breaks in order to add "affordable" housing. However, the people in affordable housing then need additional help from the county. So, you pay twice. |
By this rationale Ezra Klein is MAGA. You sound incredibly dumb and reductionist. No offense. |
They were given tax breaks to add mostly market rate housing but it turns out that you need revenue from property and income taxes to pay for the government so everyone living somewhere other than the subsidized apartments paid twice while others paid less than half. |
These are the progressives/socialists who respnd this way and tbh,have destroyed the deomcratic party. Challenge government and want to pay less for the same or get more, and youre a racist maga The negative net migration in this state is one of the largest in the country. It will only get worse as we are hit from moore and enrich with increases while budgets are mismanaged The impact to this state and county will be felt for decades as the more wealthy leave and people dependent on services replace them. |
I’m not a Democrat, except by registration. I’m a Socialist and I’m outspoken and proud of it. I’m registered as a Dem because it’s the only way I can have a voice in our silly two-party system. But Gen Z is entirely like me. And Socialism is the future. You will see that in time, and you’ll switch too. Or you can continue to insist on being a Democrat, in which case you’ll be an opposition party one day like the republicans are now. Your choice. |
I'm fed up. |
