‘On the day Bennie Coleman lost his house, the day armed U.S. marshals came to his door and ordered him off the property, he slumped in a folding chair across the street and watched the vestiges of his 76 years hauled to the curb.
Movers carted out his easy chair, his clothes, his television. Next came the things that were closest to his heart: his Marine Corps medals and photographs of his dead wife, Martha. The duplex in Northeast Washington that Coleman bought with cash two decades earlier was emptied and shuttered. By sundown, he had nowhere to go.
All because he didn’t pay a $134 property tax bill….’
Leftists/”progressives”/socialists are not welcome here. Pay for your own soapbox.

One word: “COMMUNISM
”

You own your property right? Property tax is not tax,it’s rent.Rent you pay to the government which if you fail to pay,the government takes your property and kicks you out in the street.Now,tell me again,do you really own your own property?
People look at me like I’m from Mars when I tell them that.It’s immoral,it’corrupt and it’s tyrannical,but it’s also deeply ingrained to the point most just accept it.
The best system is a sales tax system,it’s the only fair system and the only one prescribed by the Constitution.
Absolutely! Property “ownership” is a myth–and that’s before we even get into the obscenity that is Eminent Domain.
We pay a hundred times over for the privilege of occupying a dwelling we will never really own, and those payments are merely to keep an army of unaccountable fucking bureaucrats “employed”.
Petty tyrants, tyrannising working people and beyond the reach of any form of justice.
Come an insurrection, these parasitic bastards should be first to the scaffolds.
The lion share of the property taxes I pay get taken by the school system.It’s overgrown,out of control and has no accountability.Worse still the school board can vote to increase millage rates up to five mills per year WITHOUT a vote of the people.And every year the test scores get worse
The constitution.

This is noting new.
From the link:

‘One 65-year-old flower shop owner lost his Northwest Washington home of 40 years after a company from Florida paid his back taxes — $1,025 — and then took the house through foreclosure while he was in hospice, dying of cancer. A 95-year-old church choir leader lost her family home to a Maryland investor over a tax debt of $44.79 while she was struggling with Alzheimer’s in a nursing home…’
Time for some killing……it would be the proper and just thing to do.
It is time!!
and
your an Darin are so right on!!
we do not own our property–
and the Founders of this Republic are rolling in their graves -because of the tyranny –

Smith and Jones [the “Not the 9’O clock news” fame ] did a skit on it. I remember this well.
I was shocked when I heard about this property tax thing in America, when I had some Americans visiting recently, i kept asking them in different ways about it. I just couldn’t believe that in the so-called land of the free that you had to pay property tax every year.
At first i thought it was just rates or something so they can come pick up your trash and pipe you water, but no, that’s all extra.
Very sad what happened to this fellow, I’m sure his fellow Americans will look after him though, plenty of good Americans left there even if some are just bastards.
“LAND OF THE FREE:?: ”
Yeah, Americans are free to pay taxes using pay checks that were taxed several times before they received it…
“LAND OF THE FREE
”
What country has the largest number of persons behind prison walls
America.
What country has 10% of its population on parole
America.
“LAND OF THE FREE
”
I think not
At first I thought this was funny….then I realized
the awful truth of it.
Be sure to read all the way to the end.
Tax his land,
Tax his bed,
Tax the table
At which he’s fed.
Tax his tractor,
Tax his mule,
Teach him taxes
Are the rule.
Tax his work,
Tax his pay,
He works for peanuts
Anyway!
Tax his cow,
Tax his goat,
Tax his pants,
Tax his coat.
Tax his ties,
Tax his shirt,
Tax his work,
Tax his dirt.
Tax his tobacco,
Tax his drink,
Tax him if he
Tries to think.
Tax his cigars,
Tax his beers,
If he cries
Tax his tears.
Tax his car,
Tax his gas,
Find other ways
To tax his ….
Tax all he has
Then let him know
That you won’t be done
Till he has no dough.
When he screams and hollers;
Then tax him some more,
Tax him till
He’s good and sore.
Then tax his coffin,
Tax his grave,
Tax the sod in
Which he’s laid.
Put these words
Upon his tomb,
Taxes drove me
to my doom…’
When he’s gone,
Do not relax,
Its time to apply
The inheritance tax.
Time for not reform, not revolution, not insurrection.
Time for a slave uprising.
