I'm telling you,this kind of thing hits a raw nerve with me. A hand full of nut job extremists who think FDR is still president have way too many people thinking we're on welfare out here.
So I get back about the equivelent of a third of my property taxes. I don't want to attack the person who made the original post,but that one was a complaint that he'd have to START paying property taxes.
Every study that's been done on the subject shows the same thing. For every dollar collected in property taxes on residential and commercial property,it costs $1.25 to provide services. On the other side of the coin,for every dollar collected on farm and open land,it cost's 35 cents to provide services. If my math is right,I'm still paying a third more than I owe to subsidize the rest of the residents and businesses in this county.
And as far as poverty goes,in this township,I'm chairman of the board that decides whether or not people GET poverty exemptions. I have to MAKE those decisions,not just talk about them. I KNOW there's poverty out there and people who can't pay,but the bottom line is pretty simple,if you want government services,somebody has to pay for them. Simple as that.
