  • So property tax I am ok with, in theory. The people with property in a city should pay for services like fire, schools, police, road maintenance… What gets me is when the city wants more and more for stupid shit like iPads for all students… Every 3 years due to forced upgrades or just old style deprecation over 3 years.

    The amount my taxes go up each year is more than any raise I get. Then add on insurance which has gone insane. I paid off my house to avoid a 20k female flood insurance bill because a 1 foot piece of concrete touched a high risk flood zone. A technicality because if I took down a screen patio, then I wouldn’t have to pay.

  • I never understood that argument and how people bought it.

    GOP touted choice, you can choose your provider… But most everyone gets 1 choice, the one from work or nothing

    Also then, choose your doctor… But you don’t, the INS company tells you what doctors you’re allowed to see.

    There is no choice, there is no free market when it comes to health care, especially during emergencies… Call 911 for an ambulance, you don’t get to compare prices, you take the 1st one available… You are taken to emergency room, you don’t get time to compare services and pick a hospital, you’re taken to the closest one.
