[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Looks like textbook “angry white man syndrome”. Just a standard boilerplate maga rant. “[i]Oh, my property taxes are too high!” “You’re spending MY money on brown people!” “I’ll close my remarks by threatening you.”[/i]

Fortunately there are more than enough good and decent people in MoCo to drown out violent screaming nutjobs like that a-hole. [/quote]

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.  [/quote]

Your property taxes increased 100% because the value of your home increased 100%

+1. Always amazing when people complain about their property taxes which means they have the good fortune of having their property value risen dramatically. If your property value went from $1 million to $2 million, sure the $10K increase in taxes would be annoying to some extent, but I would be celebrating my good fortune of having gained $1 million even if it's "unrealized" until I sell. Plus, those property taxes are deductible so if you're truly house poor, you'll get lots of it back.[/quote]

"good fortune and luck" is how socialist explain everything and why they shouldnt win elections.  Neighborhoods are valuable, not because of luck or good fortune.  its the community, focusing on efforts to improve the quality of life for them and neighbors.  Values go up when others want that same lifestyle and realize its not available in every community.  its the hard work of the community.

thats being said, none of that means property taxes should align to increases. and Moco has increased property taxes acrross the board to fund their pet projects and its expensive being a sanctuary county.

property taxes are for services for the city/county.  if the county needs to double that in a decade and STILL is in a deficit, thats a spending problem.  too many (esp. socialists), want to increase taxes for more and more services that they promised.  that shouldnt be the job of the citizen.  Mandami and NYC is going to find this out the hard way

if a city wants to provide more services, they need to find new major businesses(which Moco and Md does not) to pay for them and not off the back of the citizenry.  We arent their ATM's.  [/quote]
