Private Property Is Good

Reading quotes from Cea Weaver has convinced me, beyond mere greed, that eliminating property taxes is the way to go.

Florida seems poised to do so.

I was in favor of it just because it reduced my mortgage payment.

Now I am in favor of it because it's so much harder to add a tax than to increase it.

A tax on owning something means that you're really renting it from the government.

And that gives them the idea that they own it and once they think they own something they do seem to love giving it to someone else.

I do notice that New York Fucking City isn't proposing to even reduce property taxes as they eye stealing from property owners.

  1. Just got my property taxes for 2025.
    Only got one for the acreage and none for the house (separate 1 acre plot), so I went down to the appraisers and asked about it.
    The 17 acre ...acreage (ag exempt honey bees) was $31.75 with Ag exemption, Disabled vet and over 65 exemption.
    The 1 acre residential plot with the 70+ year farmhouse was $0 because of the Homestead exemption, DV and over 65 exemption.
