[QUOTE="Davy Crockett, post: 357871, member: 367"] Years ago when the Homestead Property Tax Credit was something new , I was under the impression that it was developed for retired farmers who want to keep onto the family homestead. Now that I got older and looked into it, I find out it's like all the other "programs" out there. They created all these programs and all they do for the average joe is RAISE taxes not lower them. Wife and I both retired and our SS alone keeps us from qualifying. It would be interesting to add up how many dollars have been paid in property taxes over the last 124 years, 125 as soon as write the check. Just wondering how someone actually benifits from this tax credit other than the workers who work at the jobs it created ? I'm good with paying my fair share but the services we get are minimal , pay my own garbage pickup, sewer, and water. We have a good road crew so roads are good, no complaints about that. [/QUOTE]
