Here in Minnesota the state changed how property taxes and the ‘homesteading credit’ gets calculated so,e years ago.
So, when my town needed a new school building (it did, I would have been for that) instead the ballot had a new school campus with a new school and 30 acres of sports fields. The cost of the sports complex and yearly upkeep dwarfs the actual, needed school building cost.
The town of 14,000 voted for it, because their taxes would increase about $40 a year per lot, the mansions in town maybe up to $120 a year.
My small farm, I’m paying an extra $800 a year for school bond for the next 17 years. Most of the 1000 farmers in the district voted against it.
Can you guess why the farmers voted against it? Can you see why the town folk voted for it?

There are very many voters in the city areas, and they have realized they can vote to stick it to the low population rural areas. Stick it to those rich farmers, ha! They have voted themselves free and clear of tax liability, and vote the costs upon others removed from them.

Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
