    Yeah, none of that is true. My sister is objectively an idiot, she has millions of dollars and her fear is founded by ‘taxes are theft’ beliefs. Her SS benefit will be like 5-6 grand a month no top of all her already crazy money. she is a millionaire.

    I worked in tax policy. It takes years of willful neglect to get your property seized. Like 10 years of not paying your taxes, and even then most municipalities have programs to make payments on tax debts.

      It takes 3 years here to get your property seized and auctioned.

      And not making enough money might seem like “willful neglect” to you, reared on fox news campaigns blaming the poor for getting cheated by society out of a dignified life, one they had before the 80s.

      But the jokes on you, and all of us, because they are coming for all of our money, you just didn’t see through or care when they manipulated you into supporting it.

      Even as they cheat you every day in the understated inflation, unless you have investment income. It’s your own fault I’m sure. Stupid others, not having enough money, it’s clearly a choice and a personal failing they are getting cheated by a society seized by big business and run by nihilistic lawyers working for billionaires.

          How is your employment at all applicable to your attitude that the poors that lose their houses from property taxes had it coming?
