Welp. At least Mike explained to us the cause for all the housing inflation. Government services made those properties so valuable it caused the property taxes to increase. That's like positive feedback.Yea. Sorry there rockafeller... some of us do work hard budget and pay our bills, save etc but still can't be the barons of the Midwest as yourself. Like a good majority of people I bought my home I looked at tax history of my house. Looked at how they adjusted over the years. Nothing crazy or that would scream you'll be raped later by assessments. But now the system is completely messed up thanks to govt interference these past few years and the complete bs lie of 1%... assessed by a govt that causesed the prices to skyrocket... so yea, ill bitch and moan and write and call my state rep and bitch and mom and give him suggestions how I think we should change it. But glad you are doing so genuinely well that you it doesnt effect you and the rest of the chamber of commerce
