Letter to the Editor: Taxes, taxes and more taxes

If you recall, someone in the county bought a new computer program to figure our taxes. More than 100 of us were affected and paid more tax for last year which, when added to this year’s impending tax, increased it. The new tax increase is now also a part of this year’s tax to. This created a triple hit. Will that continue? Will we be buying another new program next year?

What was wrong with the old program? Plus: The taxing of private property is actually thievery because it’s no longer private. Are you happier yet?

Increasing taxes on fixed incomes may eventually not get paid. What happens then? Private property becomes state property, and is sold, by and for who? Is there more to this than meets the eye? The 3% cap is eliminated by raising the assessed value. This increases bonding, aka debt.
