I hate Fargo..could never live in the cesspool of ND but its not just them. Look at Medora and the waste of space library they are going to build...you think that was free? It's all over the state. We are very corrupt and these politicians use our money for there pet projects. Zimmerman with the park board tried getting an athletic center passed for around I believe was 200 million..increasing our taxes. The residents voted it down...wonder why they voted it down?....so Mr. Zimmerman in his infinite wisdom thought to himself...why did they vote it down? We need to find out. So instead of using some common sense and realizing that the residents of Bismarck didn't want to pay for the dam thing..he wastes I believe $12 or $14k (of the peoples money)to send out a survey to find out why residents voted it down..magically it came back with I believe 80% didn't want to pay for it. Guess what Mr. Zimmerman got out of the survey? It showed that a large majority of residents want some sort of athletic center(20%). (The amounts were estimates without digging into it) Seriously these are the dipshits we have elected.If the rest of us didn’t have to keep paying child support on the states bastard child that is the city of Fargo, I’d imagine we could easily get to enjoy more tax breaks-No property, income or sales tax.
Can we give Fargo to MN? And maybe pick up a few of the eastern Montana counties? The god fearing one’s……If the rest of us didn’t have to keep paying child support on the states bastard child that is the city of Fargo, I’d imagine we could easily get to enjoy more tax breaks-No property, income or sales tax.
Yes they can magically come up with 50-100 million for these “Investments” for the greater good yet making school lunches free to all students at around 6million a year was “too much” fkn retarded. I’m not one for social programs but making school lunch free across the board would be the biggest middle class relief the state could pass. The poor already get it free and the rich could care less about it. That bill would have helped the most middle class people. The people of nd don’t want a fkn library or new sports complex or a 200 million dollar school. We want to keep some of our money on our pockets and stop feeding these pet projects.I hate Fargo..could never live in the cesspool of ND but its not just them.

I’m not saying there isn’t careless spending all over, just pointing out that Fargo is far far in the negative when it comes to deposits vs. withdrawals on the states piggy bankI hate Fargo..could never live in the cesspool of ND but its not just them.

If you think the elected crooks are gonna cut spending you are delusional. If property tax goes away they will just tax something else to make up for itOr government spending could be reduced by X% . Why is it everyone talks about increased taxation but rarely talks reduced spending?
what about Zoom meetings?How can they be back in town and at the bar by 3 if they have to drive all day.
Good point.what about Zoom meetings?
Someone who spends every dollar they earn pays sales tax etc on every dollar. Someone who has money to save for retirement, non-sales taxed investments (your home etc) doesn’t spend all their money, therefore only paying sales tax on a portion of their earnings.How is sales tax regressive?
So, a young couple with a small child should pay more sales tax on diapers, clothes, shoes, etc. so an older couple making $125,000 and owns a $300,000 home shouldn't have to pay real estate taxes? How does that young couple choose to not purchase the bare necessities for their family?The sales tax...you have a choice. Everyone will be taxed the same on basic necessities...your choice to buy the iPhone or not. The only choice with property is to not own any..then you deal with rent and pay the tax on property anyways..you have zero choice with a property tax.
Which is really no different then it is now...sales tax would allow you to choose.
Sooo a young person doesn't have a place they are currently living? All it's doing is shifting the money from one place to another...I get its hard to understand that and all. If you have a place whether you rent or own a certain percent is going to property taxes. FYI said older couple may also be buying diapers...or false teeth or heart meds etc. Trying to justify having a baby makes you pay more...sure maybe(been there done that) i know how much they cost. One thing I have learned from life is no matter what age young or old...money is coming out for one thing or another..if it's not diapers it's getting teeth fixed..if not teeth fixed it a hip replacement and so on. Just because youbgwt older doesn't mean you don't have bare necessities either. To add babies are pricey but holy shit teens make babies look cheap.So, a young couple with a small child should pay more sales tax on diapers, clothes, shoes, etc. so an older couple making $125,000 and owns a $300,000 home shouldn't have to pay real estate taxes?

Guess you know best..............maybe you should run for office and fix this issue.Sooo a young person doesn't have a place they are currently living?

One thing inwould say is as youbget older you tend to make more money off setting some of those expenses and putting yourself in a better spot...still doesn't take away the shift of money though..
I’m not sure that makes sense. Both paid income tax and the person earning more pays more and could be in a higher tax bracket. I would also suggest that the person earning more, while possibly saving some, spends more so that person paid more income tax and more sales tax.Someone who spends every dollar they earn pays sales tax etc on every dollar. Someone who has money to save for retirement, non-sales taxed investments (your home etc) doesn’t spend all their money, therefore only paying sales tax on a portion of their earnings.
