Why is a home something you pay taxes on forever? When I buy a car, I pay taxes one time (when I purchase it)...

Why is a home something you pay taxes on forever? When I buy a car, I pay taxes one time (when I purchase it). When I buy clothes, I pay taxes one time.

I already pay 30% to 50% of my income in taxes. They can't take it out of that? If you want to include sales taxes, gasoline taxes, property taxes (from my rent), SUTA, FUTA (employer's side too), and any other regulatory shit that increases my COL, it's more like 50%, maybe more.

Why must I pay extra taxes on top of that to service shitty public schools when I have no kids, roads full of potholes and congested with traffic, and a police and fire department that is on the verge of bankruptcy (thanks to their lucrative pension scheme among other shit). This is common in many major cities.

And all these "services" I pay for never try to save any money because if they spend under budget one year, their budget gets cut for next year. All types of crony bullshit goes on with how they spend their money (textbooks, supplies, etc.), and who gets to be their vendors.

I have no control over this shit, but I have to keep paying higher rent (which includes property taxes). If I had a home, I'd have to pay higher taxes every year.

user, they will get you at every corner. No place is safe.
Plus now the left is making paying taxes an altruistic virtue

Oh, right. I forgot about that. Another bullshit tax. Still anything else like a new computer isn't taxed.

that's why you need two, not one, properties, so you rent the second one

Not everyone wants to do that. Really a pain in the ass if you ask me.

Honestly, it makes it easier for Indians and Pakis to come here and live since they'll move their parents, kids, and siblings' families all into one house. Makes it more cost effective. Anyone else is fucked.

because the land isn't yours, it's the state's and land is the easiest thing to tax.

Only Niggers are dumb enough to pay property taxes.

Because it's your country's land

Unless you are a church.

Because in Amerika you don't own property. You rent it.

>mfw my property taxes are still $600 / month even though I have mortgage paid off

I will never get off this fucking hamster wheel.

Property tax is the most efficient form of taxation
Cant be doged and couldd ideally just be used for local services

living a good life isn't easy. you make money by doing things that other people find too difficult.

I was thinking about taxes in the USA the other day and it sort of boggled my mind to realize that our government literally takes in trillions of dollars each year but we have shitty schools, shitty roads, shitty everything.

What the fuck are they doing with all of our money Sup Forums?

Sending it to Israel.

>Still anything else like a new computer isn't taxed.

>need to upgrade every few years to continue to run latest software

The kikes have you there too.

Building things that blow up, and blowing up things we built.

And Old Fuckkers are expensive as well. Medicare, Social Security, and Defense account for 2/3 of the federal budget.

Defense is like 12% of the budget

>Why is a home something you pay taxes on forever?

L'éternel kike system, mon gros Bubba...

Social welfare programs are socialist, so we'll just give subsidies to massive companies. That's the free market, right? Caring for the job creators is the surest way to grow the economy and make sure the pie grows and we get less and less.

>>>/reason.com/
gbt your simplistic sociopathic hugbox, idiot
the rest of us want a workable society

Also, Americans are cucks.

Enjoy sucking Jew dick while they automate your job =-)

32% if you include discretionary and non-discretionary (VA welfare shit).

fuck social security and fuck old people

Don't forget that bridges across the country haven't been maintained for the last decade because of embezzled toll fees. But we need to cut planned parenthood and foodstamps right guys?

In Utah you pay taxes on it every time you register it so it's legal to drive on the roads...once a year.

T. Salt Lake City fag

Yes.

Damn right we do. Roads are socialist. Infrastructure is socialist. We need to privatize the roads and bridges. I mean, yeah, there are a lot of places where roads won't be built because it's not profitable but that's freedom and liberty, the American way.

>laughingAdamSmith.jpg

Because

Gotta make sure the money is going to the "right" people, wew lad

We also need to spend a lot more on healthcare for average to below average outcomes. The more money that we give to the wealthy the more they'll let trickle down. Maybe they'll let me lick their ass, too.

T 18 year old kid

How is taxation NOT theft?

Or just make it so roads are 100% paid by gas taxes
The more you use them the more you pay

>When I buy a car, I pay taxes one time
Registration, emissions, tolls, gas tax (x cents/gallon), parking, tickets? You pay for taxes for ever on your car too

Make sense.

What?! The government can't do anything right, the private sector does everything better than the government. Now, if we could allow corporations to tax us, that would be ideal!

Why the fuck isn't anyone mentioning car tags?
They're absolutely a tax
They depend on location and car type

But user, taxes are for overseas accounts, not investing back into the country. The American people are just a meme

>make money, get taxed
>spend money, get taxed
>buy property, get taxed

>land of the free

They are. See:
I forgot about that. Since property taxes are so huge in comparison, I overlooked it in my OP. But still sucks having to pay $100 a year.

What happens if I don't pay my taxes?

Your always going to get taxed thats why it should be as local as possible so you can live in a high service hight tax area or a low service low tax area
Property taxes are best for this

Taxes are for poor people. Think of it as a way to fund their jobs. The upper class gets all sorts of fun tax loopholes, because they give the lower class jobs. If they didn't the lower class would starve. So why should the wealthy pay taxes at all?

What can I do to educate myself on this kind of stuff? That hopefully doesn't involve watching Youtube videos

They kick you out and take your home.

>land of the free

Educate yourself on what?

PROPERTY TAXES ARE HERE TO WRECK U.


HAAAAAAAAAAAHAAAAAAAAAAAAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Face it OP, we're not land owners, we're tenants on government land.

Ancap degenerate detected. You can write off interest on your taxes relax

>tfw cant live on antarctic land free of the tax jew

I wasn't talking to you

You can write it off. You still have to pay it. The most you can save from mortgage interest and property taxes on your 1040 is ~25%. So if you pay $10,000 in interest and property taxes, your net out of pocket is still $7,500. Or 9 months rent in a very nice place in most cities.

Doesn't make sense. Even multimillionaires have to pay property taxes, and like pay a whole lot more if their home values are seven figures.

Educate yourself on what?

My property tax is $1000 a month

People forget property taxes are progressive. It's ironic you see poor people complain about them when the alternative would be shit like sales taxes that would fuck over poor people disproportionately.

Idk, whatever you said to me, about living in whatever areas and taxes and whatnot

I was reading some places have very low property taxes. That's still almost $100 a month though.

In Dallas, Houston, or Austin, a $300,000 home can have $6,000 or more of property taxes a year.

>Falling for the it's smart to buy a house meme.

Fuck I feel so bad for so many people on this board. Lol

If dobe right property and gas taxes dont have loopholes
It is income and to a lesser extant sales taxes that do

Proptey tsx is the most efficient tax for funding local spending because you cant really dodge it

You can legally dodge it by living in a smaller house or illegally dodge it by getting low ball property appraisals

You also pay taxes at the pump for gasoline. Very large taxes.

That is like saying you cam dogde income and sales tax by not working or spending money
Tax officals can look at comps in the area much harder to fudge than sales or income

Computers are taxed, most thing over x amount of dollars are subject to a sales tax even when your state doesn't have a sales tax.

In many cases the computer used foreign parts at some point, additional tax for that.
1k dollar computer, 100 dollar tax.

Kind of different because unlike not working to avoid income tax, living in a smaller home to avoid property tax means you have a bunch of untaxed money left over

>government charges land tax
>no water tax

But you are not taxed on money you are taxed on property

Sup Forums is a bad place for this. We all want the wife who raises kids in a suburban home while the father works and can support a family of 4 and you can have 2 cars and take the weekends off

But this is not possible nowadays

Because you live in a modern civilization

Yes it is
Just dont waste money on useless crap

But the point I'm making is, with income tax you have no mechanism for reducing your tax rate. With property tax, by living in a smaller home than what you can afford, you can reduce your effective tax rate.

Yes you do
Working less

>Why is a home something you pay taxes on forever?
Because you're a slave.

Thank this guy

without money the government can't run roads.

that sailboat is like, 5 times more than than OP's pic house though.
florida probably taxes living on a boat somehow :(

>not buying a house

>paying someone else's rent forever instead

That's why I bought a condo. Extra comfy and I don't have to worry about nig-nogs because I'm surrounded by peaceful old people who are all armed to the teeth

You pay off your home

You still pay $1000mn + until you die and keeps going up

Land of free?

Nah

True. So many fell for the house/college/marriage/stem meme it's genuinely sad. They're trapped the rest of their life in a prison of their own design.

>t. self employed renter with girlfriend I can leave at any moment I want, tied down by absolutely nothing

>willingly give the Federal Reserve total control over your country
>complain about your lack of freedom

I mean reducing your tax rate without reducing your wealth

Until chinks buy up all the land around you raising the value of the area, in turn raising your property taxes (at least here they are base on you're properties value)( why else do you thing the government is ok with the housing bubble? Property taxes increase with the value of you're house.

>Why is a home something you pay taxes on forever?
Because liberals set the school system up that makes property taxes pay for the school in the area.
>When I buy a car, I pay taxes one time
No, you don't. Each year in Illinois for instance, you pay for License place sticker and a city sticker. These things aren't necessary, and are essentially a tax in disguise.
>When I buy clothes, I pay taxes one time
nigga what? Clothes don't give you inherent value, homes and cars do, especially since they affect your credit, not clothes.

Dude honestly my dad made somewhere between $200k and $300k for a family of 6 with a suburban house and it took him 10 years of traveling with the company he works for with no weekends and we still lived paycheck to paycheck. Maybe it's because of where we live and how they had to learn budgeting themselves due to bad parents but they're only now coming out of debt.

You can blame them for some of it but other parts are incredible taxes and regulations.

I don't see how unless you make zero mistakes.

Good job. I am either going to be an LEO or Electrician.

>$200k and $300k for a family of 6 with a suburban house and it took him 10 years of traveling with the company he works for with no weekends and we still lived paycheck to paycheck

Where the fuck did you live that you were living "paycheck-to-paycheck"? A top floor apartment in Manhattan or some shit?

But you would be reducing your house size and tax burden
Whats the difference

Rich part of the greatest state.

Because you're a slave yo the government stupid goyim. You don't own the land you live on, Uncle Sam does and he wants compensation for you leasing it. You should enjoy it, it pays for police to lock up the local dindus who'd like to rob your house and rape your wife.

that boat is 50 feet long
a 30 foot boat that's suitable to live on is 50k or less

>Somali pirates
>Niggers will still find a way to nig

Which is why inner city school usually suck, because niggers don't own homes, they rent.

the government owns all land and allows you to use it

Gas is taxed
Tires are taxed
Registration is a tax

And that money was only in the later few years. We never discussed my fathers income but it was less than that because he was promoted later on.

And his job still included cross country travel.

>What the fuck are they doing with all of our money Sup Forums?

Don't worry about it goy, your money is in good hands

Because a smaller house leaves you with the same amount of wealth since you have the cash you didn't spend on a bigger house left in your bank account untaxed

The yanks had it figured out long ago. what happened?

Charleston? I don't know anywhere else that has an ultra-high quality of living in SC

>by living in a smaller home than what you can afford

That's called "being sensible" and it's not very fashionable these days. The fashionable thing to do is to spend yourself into oblivion and blame everyone else for your problems
