If you think you own your home after you have paid off any loans, try not paying your property taxes. (Which is actually rent paid to the government.) The government will take your house and sell it and give you what is left over after they take the procedes to pay your taxes. Did you really ever own your house or were you just renting it from the government. Nice scam!
My county property taxes were due last week. I also had a hole in the roof and had been invaded by racoons. I am a semi-disabled senior on a tiny fixed income. I had to start a Give Send Go a couple weeks ago to raise the funds for these. I am very thankful that I was able to pay the property tax on the due date, and have the hole repaired. I also had a tree removed over the house, and the tree guy found another hole that needs repair.
Taxation of all kinds is tyranny, and a hardship and burden on the citizenry. No government entity should have the power to seize ones property.
Truth we all need to know. Our property taxes go up every year to fund the Crime Ccorruption in Mexizona. The AZ government entities all receive federal funding. Get grants to misspent adding to other money's we are taxed for them on power, water we pay for going up in price every year. Talk about embezzlements; tge treasuer $200k, so we have to send payment to an entity in HOU TX. Water payment has to be sent to Chicago IL. Living in the Pagan Society Gov Cabal being LIED to about Everything!
In a most probably related issue - I believe the sudden interest in "abolishing" - I think that means lowering a bit for now - property taxes is a slide towards eliminating services and privatizing services. And then taxes will creep up again. I asked myself cui bono? and this is what came to me. I am cynical, sure I am, but I no longer think government ever ever ever does anything anymore that does not increase profits and revenue, however indirectly, and decrease services. With a huge side helping of meaningless campaign rhetoric thrown in.
Replacing the Local Tax Paradigm in Harris County,
Texas
Executive Summary.
Harris County currently relies on a fragmented, opaque
tax structure dominated by property taxes levied across hundreds of taxing
units and supplemented by city-level sales taxes and quasi-tax fees. This
document proposes replacing those mechanisms with a single, universal tax on
money movements, designed to protect citizens from misused power while
preserving stable local funding.
The proposed system taxes all domestic transfers at 0.10%, applies a minimum 0.20% rate to funds leaving the country, and allocates revenue locally first before any upward flow to county, state, or
federal government.
1. Problem and Solution in Plain Terms
The current tax paradigm penalizes ownership and declared income rather than
equitably providing for promotion of the general welfare and providing for the
common defense. Property taxes create foreclosure risk and distort land use;
sales taxes hide the true cost of government and fall regressively.
Complexity enables selective enforcement and political misuse. The proposed universal
transfer tax replaces this structure with a transparent, unavoidable, low-rate levy on every movement of money. If money moves—between people, businesses, banks, or institutions—the tax applies, without exception.
2. Core Mechanics of the Universal Transfer Tax
Every domestic transfer clears at a fixed rate of 0.10%, collected automatically
at the payment or banking layer (ACH, wire, card settlement, and bank-to-bank
transfers included). Transfers leaving the United States are taxed at a higher
minimum rate of 0.20% to discourage capital flight without bans or controls.
Rates are constitutionally fixed; no government entity may raise, lower, or
exempt itself from the tax.
3. Harris County Reality Check (Order of Magnitude)
Replacement target (illustrative)
Annual amount
All Harris County-area property tax levies -- $14.8 billion
Required taxable transfer base at 0.10%
Scale vs. Harris County 2023 GDP
$14.8 trillion ~27× GDP
This scale is large but not implausible if the tax base includes wholesale payment rails and
institutional transfers.
Partial exemptions would quickly undermine replacement viability.

And bonds from schools being used to pay for operational costs... And prior bonds.
Stealing us blind for the Elite pedos, federal level to our county Parasites!
