[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It hilarious how liberals and Dems scream about the rich not paying enough taxes and about rampant wealth inequality, yet here they are, demanding the U.S. govt and the rest of the country help subsidize their expensive giant homes with tax deductions.

There should be $0 able to be deducted for owning a home.  Why is it my responsibility to give you a tax break for owning a $1M home?  Dems, walk the walk if you’re gonna talk the talk.  Fork up the taxes since you are telling everyone else to pay more to combat wealth inequality.[/quote]
I’m sorry you can’t afford to buy a home.[/quote]

hmmm- I dont know about others but my property taxes pay for everyone's kids public school education plus recreation opportunities including public pools, rec centers, rec center programing, school buses & parks regardless of wether I use these.  To make it 'fair' why dont people pay for these things as they go/use them?  Would that be more fair? and lets get rid of teh subsidies that residents of these Staes make to the farmers in rural areas plus the upkeep of all teh roads in rural areas in flyover country that I certainly dont use. I only buy local organic produce and meat and wheat and herbs grown in Italy, same for pasta. I buy almost all of my clothing and cosmetics overseas b/c FDA is a joke.  and by cosmetics I am including kiddy shampoos and toothpaste , and I buy it there b/c it's cheaper. only buy French butter and foreign cheeses.  I dont use those roads- but I pay for them, why should I? and I am far from alone. Even low income immigrants in my family grow their own herbs/veggies, buy local meat and shop for stuff when they go back to their home countries. So why exactly should we be paying for Iowan roads?

You pay for others  in taxes b/c we live in a civil society and participate in it for teh common good. You need to go back and re-read the Little House books to understand teh fine line between independence and cooperation plus what a community and government owes its people vs. what they should do for themselves. And Wilder was a huge libertarian so teh agenda is for more self-reliance, not hand outs. [/quote]
