Comment on Baby boomers want to axe property taxes. Millennials and Gen Z would pay for it.

The song, “Uplift the Dream,” is one of 20 tracks on an AI-generated album specifically designed to rally support for eliminating Ohio’s property taxes.

Ew. But AI is also selfish and soulless, so I guess it’s on brand for people not wanting to pay taxes.

Americans to be taken aback at their taxes. Property values have exploded over the last few years, causing some homeowners’ tax bills to grow by hundreds or even thousands of dollars annually

Am I too unsympathetic that I don’t feel like $100/mo is a big burden? People’s rent goes up by as much, but I don’t expect these people are in favor of freezing the rent.

Then we’re going to have to starve the beast, and that’s the expression we use — starving the beast.

I’m pretty sure starve the beast is a well known conservative slogan , but it really should flag someone as anti-american and also a fool.

It’s entitlement. They believe that they deserve to coast off into the sunset. They aren’t willing to contribute to society.

That extra amount per month can really screw with low/ fixed income people though, I feel like there should be something to help with that.

  They can easily solve the problem by selling their overpriced homes.

    And then live in rentals which are more expensive?

    Oye but a smaller home and keep the difference between the two homes as income… though they may have to pay taxes in that, so I think that’s not possible

    Rentals are expensive because boomers have been choking the housing market.
