My entire point is that the confiscatory nature of property taxes is a major factor in its decline.And perhaps the only one capable of change by a concerted effort/fight by the people.
I post here in the apparently vain hope that silly people might rethink their silly assumptions and find just a little courage.
The reason for the decline is not the taxs that support things like snow removal, the reason for decline is this odd thing CALLED Free Trade. Blame is GIVEN to things like Unions by those who want total control and power and it's a lie. I am moving to CNY know why? Because just like CNY was once a great industrial center until globalism disemboweled the middle class, CNY business and culture respected the rights and labor of the working man, and unlike southern and western areas of this country, some of that legacy still holds on in custom. I sure hope people wise up. It's the lifestyle, the people, the businesses, the big old houses, the snow, just so many reasons.
