James - Sounds like there are a lot of property owneres where you live that are candidates for purchasing a pig in a poke. Talk about a rationalization

Jim, I thought that was pretty universal with our system's addiction to inflation. They just don't point out that if they've doubled the value of your house in 2 or three years, that has reduced the buying power of your cash/savings by 50%! Thank God there's no real inflation or they'd be making our money worthless and keeping us all rats on their treadmill ;-) I'm experiencing the same thing you described even up here in the rural mountain area of NH - you can't hide so might as well stay where you are. I live on a dirt road with no water or sewer services and get virtually nothing for my tax dollars. Taxes were quite appropriate for the level of services for many years until approx the time of Clinton's re-election and the desperate attempt to keep mythical Clintopia from collapsing. Coincidentally NH somehow found themselves with a democrat governor for the first time in a long time. Imported her from well out of state. The kicker is they put in a law that mandates new appraisals AT LEAST every 5 years. They want their hyperinflation to STICK. If you can't afford to keep your home, just get a second or third job and help keep our economy going. The system of the "land of the free" sure has become a racket. We need another Lincoln to free this new generation of slaves. Didn't we once give Britain the finger over such nonsense? regards, Tom
