If You Live In America, Stop Scrolling & Listen To This Because Unless Things Change, This Will Be You One Day
“I’m on Social Security, 68 years old, and working just to pay my taxes. My property taxes were $895 a year.
Now, my property taxes are approaching $8,000 a year over the last couple years.
And so we’re paying $700 a month rent to the state to live in our own house.
Problem is, that I’m 68 years old and there needs to be a moratorium on what we have to pay. I worked the entire winter up on that mountain for $6,500 just to pay my property taxes because I’m stubborn enough.
I don’t want to dig into my bank account to pay them. It’s like, well, you want me to work? Well, I’ll work. And I’m 68 years old and I’ll work all summer. Most of my time is just to pay my property taxes to live in the house that I bought in 1995.
When my children are raised, they want to get married there and I plan on being there until the very end.
We just can’t take this anymore. This was a great place and it still is, but the people that made it great can’t afford to live here anymore.”
