I can see the 16th Amendment being challenged with it going all the way to the Supreme Court after Trump takes office. Property taxes are especially unconstitutional because they are based on feudal European laws.

And, I forgot to add this: They use the property tax system to fleece the taxpayer and pay for the indoctrination of your own children (WE are funding our own demise) through the government run school systems, that you really don't have a say in how they are run. If you push back on insane curriculum, you are called every bad name in the book and are put on lists as enemies of "democracy" or some other sort of Orwellian name.
True, but with the exception of a few necessary and decent thing the federal government does, all of our taxes are used against us. The whole world hates us for being financial bullies and thieves, and warmongers misery exporters. Who signed up for that?
all the millions of families who homeschool or otherwise pay for private education —are forced to pay school “taxes” to the very system they want dismantled or decreased ..since more kids are leaving public school - it is unfair. School tax should be illegal. as should annual real estate taxes —one sales tax when property transfers is enough!
Another thing is if we were not taxed as much, we could survive on one income and educate our own children. However it would be an issue for single parents and those who don't care for their children. Those can be helped by the community. We need to focus on strengthening families instead of breaking them down.
My brother's property tax bill in northern Utah (not going to be specific here); 50% of the bill was for the School District (over $1500!). So, to your point - it's a sick feeling to know we are paying for the indoctrination of our children and the inevitable division/destruction it creates in families.
Exactly GG. I've been of the mindset for a long time that the "queen" and now the "king" (the governmental apparatus) always own your property. You never truly own it; you still have to pay your "rent" every six months or yearly, depending on your state.
I especially hate property taxes because I am terrified they are going to jack those through the roof in their plans to oust people from their homes and move them to 15 minute cities. That was my guess all along for how they would do it. That or natural disasters.
They should at least abolish property taxes on senior citizens’ homes. A senior friend of mine had to sell her home when her beloved husband died because she couldn’t afford the property taxes and maintenance. It’s so wrong to lose a loved one and then lose your home.
There's a book named "The Law That Never Was" by a rancher using the nickname "Red" (his name is on the book but I never remembered it after reading from it.) He and his wife were offended enough by IRS demands for an accounting of charitable contributions that they paid someone to visit all 48 state archives and the National Archives to look up the complete record of both ends of the ratification process for each state. With a little bit of commentary! the content of the book is a copy of that complete record. (DuckDuckGo just gave me this link which I have not opened "https://thelawthatneverwas.com" and I remember the last name "Benson" from that search) Every one of the records was deficient (fraudulent) according to what my 1950s childhood schooling taught me about how such things work. Nonetheless, US Secretary of State, Philander T Knox (some parents have delightful prescience) duly reported that he had received the required ratifications and it was formally added to the Constitution as the 16th Amendment.)

Property taxes are another thing that really get under my skin. You never truly own your property.

In Florida there are ways to get money allotted for each child and use it for other educational avenues.
Schools are wasteful with money and controlled. It needs a revamp.

We do have the authority to not comply. We don’t need permission from any government.

Poverty taxes...
Excellent, Lorita!
and they NEVER go down, long term.

Happening in Maui, NC too?
