While we are all pointing the finger just a friendly reminder that there is no Private Property in Texas and 2nd homes are taxed at higher rates.


Actually, primary house is discounted and second house is taxed at normal rates. Reminder that I already pointed that out.

The government playing shell games to make you feel better about a tax that shouldn't exist isn't really a burn. It demonstrates how easily fooled people are

I don't feel better about it. I was just correcting how it works.

I'm ambivalent about the subject.

I just thought YouBet's correction was funny, thus my post.

Thanks for the explanation. That's pretty bad. Why not clean up the city level stuff instead? I suppose it's something akin to the State of Texas taking over chronically underperforming/mismanaged school districts but I believe those are normally temporary measures .

Tax second homes to make them more costly to own, and give government/NGOs the right of first refusal on home sales.

Diabolical Marxism.

Additional tidbit: NYC already has a "mansion" tax of 1% on home sales >$1M. Soak the rich.

500 million a year in extra taxes!
Thats a few dinner parties for the communist elite, salaries for overseers and enforcement officers, couple of million to repair companies owned by donors.
They would burn right through that 500 million and be back for more!!

And only 5 Minnesota learing centers
