Something like Prop 13 seems the only way to control a government out of control. Budgets so high! That tax payers no longer can pay the bill.Scotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01158752202033619019noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1096954374118087231.post-83586033863476504752008-08-18T05:47:00.000+02:002008-08-18T05:47:00.000+02:00"the illegal alien lobby?"

The property values of starter mansions in Eagle Mountain and upper Farmington have nothing to do with illegals bidding up their price. <BR/><BR/>My read over the weekend is being confirmed, "How Stupid Are We." Well, without soumding elitist, "pretty damned stupid." I'm losing faith in Americans. Thanks for confirming that faith.Obi wan liberalihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04425739293622553830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1096954374118087231.post-4787003092478594212008-08-17T20:38:00.000+02:002008-08-17T20:38:00.000+02:00Promoting a Prop 13 is not a knee jerk reaction to...Promoting a Prop 13 is not a knee jerk reaction to inflation - it is a protective measure against politicians buying votes from tax - eaters like illegals by plundering long time residents via property taxes. In California, the Legislature has largely been taken over by the illegal alien lobby, and they would happily tax the Gringos out of their homes to pay for freebies (welfare, free schooling and in state college tuition, and the free room and board at the prisons @ $40000 per year per person) for the illegals. Prop 13 is the California protection shield for homeowners - I trust that if the illegal alien lobby takes over Utah that you will have a Prop 13to protect you from the tax raisers.

It benefits long-term residents while hurting newer and short-term residents. So you can see who would be inclined to favor it.<BR/><BR/>A rise in property taxes due to a rise in property value does not mean that our current system is broken. As you note, it is actually quite equitable. Let's avoid making matters worse simply because we didn't like our last property tax statement.Scott Hinrichshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11831447472339880148noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1096954374118087231.post-43812216547708690662008-07-21T19:17:00.000+02:002008-07-21T19:17:00.000+02:00Thanks for sharing that.
