What is your opinion on paying real estate tax after the home is paid in full?
Should those that have worked hard all their lives in buying a home and are now unable to work due to disabilities related to age, etc., whom have their home paid for, be made to continue paying taxes on their home? What if they are barely getting by on just enough food to stay alive and not receiving government assistance? Would it be right for the government to take their home and force them out on the street?
Please no bashing. Only open-minded individuals with no political bias to give an intelligent answer. It's time to come together as people wanting what's best for our country and it's citizens, not political party.
Andy...This does not apply to me. It's something I've considered about our elderly and the loss of their home, simply because they were forced to choose between a little food and paying taxes. Our country is being taxed to death the way it is. How do you consider that is appropriate when they're thrown out of their home to seek help from other taxpayers? That would be like robbing Peter to pay Paul. They would not only lose their home and then be forced to draw off of taxpayers money. How does that make sense?
Majhomes...I know there are assistant programs, but my answer to that is the same as what I gave Andy. Why should they draw off of other people's charities if they could make it by on their own if not for paying taxes on the home they already own? Those charities are from people who pay taxes too.
