Rofl Michael!
Lizzie, what would an 80 year-old have to pay to rent your place?
Probably the same, if they chose to rent - which they would not, since unlike the people that work for me they had an option to purchase at cheap prices prior to 1985.
Re property taxes, can you direct me to the language which describes the basis as the age of the owner?
Sure, hows this: To get cheap prices for property taxes, you had to buy before 1985. You do the math, say you are 25 now... that means you were, what, age 10 in 1985? I don't know many 10 year olds that are homeowners do you - is it even legal?
What is your basis in objecting to "paper profits" not being taxed?
That is NOT what I am saying - I never said this. I am saying that something has an intrinsic worth and no more - in short, what you can sell something for. You seem to think what someone pays for something is relevant - it is not, imo.
Sometimes it's darn frustrating when geezers won't just hurry up and die so you can get "yours".
Can I ask you to grow up a little? At least you backed off the stupid "beemer me up scotty" retort. I've already "got mine" Michael - please stop asking me if I am a school official when I defend schools etc. Just because I speak up for something does not mean my entire motivation is selfishness - can you make the same claim? (I don't think so, fwiw) I'm speaking of fairness here and inequity that you (oddly) choose to defend while at the same time being "GD" peeved at the distribution of corporate perks like sporting events. You have a magnitude and perception problem, imo. I'm talking 20-30K per year that young families pay to subsidize the elderly. Thats about 12-15K fica/medicare each, + somewhere around 6K property taxes. Meanwhile everyone has to self-fund their own retirement and send their kids to private schools. |
