Property Tax Petition

The government should fear the people, not the people fearing the government.

The thought of being afraid of what they will do if real estate taxes go away speaks volumes.

100% agree...do people forget the govt works for us. Not the other way around.

Is that property of federal income taxes who subsidize that?

I have to pay Federal Property tax on my wife's tribal allotments since I'm not enrolled but living on it.

Well dam..that sucks.

Ya, and I have to pay it to my wife....every day

I'm sick of my property taxes subsidizing farmers and then seeing them drive BRAND NEW PICK-UPs every year.

I'm sick of them taking my tax monies and then post up their land...

What needs to change is the automatically getting more money when they increase property values. The law should require an automatic reduction in mills based on the new valuations so total property tax revenue stays the same. Then there should be a required meeting to where the new budget is set and mills adjusted according to needs that year. This way people we voted for have to actually vote to get more money. I still like property taxes over sales and income in that property taxes give govt a set amount of money each year vs variable amounts.

with property tax you will never outright own your property. If you fall on hard times due to injury, illness, age or a multitude of factors and you no longer can pay your taxes your property can be seized by the state.

Could always go buy your own land. Then you get all that greasy tax money and can post the land

Well what is the plan then if you eliminate property taxes? Rick Becker's plan is to cut spending by 1.16 billion and not raise other taxes or impose any new taxes.

Is that the plan?

I'm not against the idea of getting rid of property taxes, I'm just curious as to what the solution is when you put the match to property taxes. Rick Becker's plan will not work in my opinion, no way to cut 1.16 billion in spending in this day and age as to many folks depend on the government handout and free stuff. If the plan is to tell people to suck it up cause the cuts are happening and deal with it, then I'm on board with elimination.

Or they could stop taking my money and post up their land..

How much of your money goes to them? Then we could figure out how much land you should have access to.

How about all the public money that goes to them...not just his.

Sounds to me like you've got some skin in this game?

Nope just think the I pay taxes so I should get to go on your land argument is really stupid.

Most subsidies have strings attached when using public money

I'm all for this plan! Let's make it happen!!

My argument wasn't if I pay taxes but more of if you're receiving tax monies. and for the record, I'm a lot of things but stupid isn't one of them..

 

[BrokenBackJack]

Sounds to me like some are making the same mistake as the last time this was brought up and failed.
Anytime you can eliminate a tax, you best go for it.
Being able to own your house and/or land free and clear of property taxes would be a God's send.
