Oh for goodness' sake. Not everything is about landlords and developers. She's proposing a true progressive income tax that will help almost everyone making less than $300,000. Many of whom rent.

And landlords won't have to pass the huge elrich property tax increase on to renters.

If it had been truly progressive than lower earners would get a bigger break than higher earners and we wouldn’t be shifting more tax burden onto wage earnings. The tax plan is a tax increase for most households and a regressive one at that.

The income tax proposal is progressive. Lower earners would be taxed less than they are now. And less than higher-earners. We are shifting less tax burden onto wage earnings, not more.

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.

maybe you dont care but people are fed up.

If your property taxes have gone up 100%, that means your house value has gone up by about 90%. That likely means you live in CC, Bethesda, or Potomac. And evidently, despite your complaints, MoCo is still an extremely desirable place to live with great services as demonstrated by the fact that your house has gone up in value so much. And as a percent of the budget, school spending has gone down over time. You almost certainly are MAGA to be making complaints like this, even if you don't think of yourself using that label.

Covid drove up housing prices, not the warmth of the county. the fact that MOCO was one of the last counties in the country to open back up, and supported covid hysteria drove up housing in all areas, not just the ones you mentioned.

but thats besides the point. Property tax isnt an unrealized capital gains tax. its supposed to support the basic services of the county, not find a way for the state to put you in financial distress.

So our property tax increased 100%, and yet Elrich still needs a special property tax assessment on that of the increases to. fund MCPS capital projects. How can he literally double the income from this and still be in the red. this is mismanagement of our money, not to mention none of our basic services have improved.

screaming maga to stop any conversation , is why dems have to kick socialists out of the party. you all have done so much damage and the failing of the mandami, and wilson mayorships will be blamed on dems. that is how maga keeps winning.

It's strange that you don't see the relationship between the quality of schools and your house value. People flock to MoCo specifically for the schools. Yet you think teachers shouldn't have gotten a raise in the past 10 years? Astonishing. Do you think the schools would have maintained the same quality if teachers fled due to a 10-year pay freeze? And if teachers fled and the schools decreased in quality, do you think your property value would have risen by 90%?

If you're really having trouble affording your property taxes, despite a 90% gain in your property value, then consider a cash out refi or a reverse mortgage. But my hunch is that when your house is worth, say, $1.5 million (up from $800K 10 years ago), you can afford the $15K tax bill without doing a refi or a reverse mortgage, but you just like to complain.

I get it, you're the same guy who loves Tysons mall. For whatever reason, you enjoy starting these threads to complain about everything about MoCo. Please take you 90% property value gain and just move to Nova. But you're going to be disappointed to learn that the Arlington/Fairfax property tax rate is higher (you can live near data centers in Loudoun if low property taxes are your priority).

“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.

No, mismanaging the budget is gross. I’m tired of paying more and getting less

MAGA trash.

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.

Your choice.

ha, you didnt have to announce you are a socialist, we all know. lack of critical thought, accepting government abuse, and using maga as a derogatory word...par for the course. you are the reason maga is in charge. too many are confusing insane policies with the democrats.

this will never going to be a socialist country. we've all taken college courses about socialism and thought it was cool to be taken care of. but we grew up and realized most socialists are just lazy and dont want to work. once NYC and seattle go bankrupt, the experiment will be overr

btw, socialism is like jail. you wont get to sit home and write your novella. you start at the bottom doing manual labor. a bus will pick you up for your 12 hour shift each day. however, you may know a famous socialist and thus get a better job, one indoors.
