The post whore thread.

[mcjhr]

Was too busy doing nothing to post.
Didn't clean the garage
Didn't drill a hole in my truck
Didn't go to Lowes
Did nothing and it was worth it

Atta boy

With the member or the taxes?

Yes.


Meet up was swell. BigBear is a good guy.

Now for the taxes...

[HoneyBadger]

Yo HB...have fun with that tax stuff, ya hear?

Nothing like throwing your money in the trash basically.

Sure feels that way, doesn't it.

I have no problem at all with local taxes. I chose to live in an area where the taxes are kind of high, because I can see that the direct result of that money is having the best school district around.

Just pisses me off we all (a majority of us) pay taxes like we're supposed to, and the nation is bankrupt no matter what we do. No, I'm not bitter.

lol.

If you think those taxes are going back in to the education system, i suggest you follow the trail. Roads, utilities, ADMINISTRATIVE COST are way up the tax chain before education.. A portion of your taxes (in newer developing) neighborhoods / Covenant controlled. Go to paying off the bonds and loans the developers took out. They also pay for road upkeep within the development. A buyer in an already developed neighborhood will pay less in taxes than one who purchased at the beginning of the build.

Well, unless the county is lying, then my tax statement tells me exactly what is going where. About 1/3 goes to maintaining roads and drainage, about 1/3 goes to schools, and the rest goes to the city, the county, some parks project, and a roads renovation project.

2/3rds doesn't go to schools. All those taxes don't go to schools. . The top o the food chain gets fed. The boots on the ground teacher, much less, in general.
It's nothing new.

Speaking of feeling good, I just got a couple of bills from the Hick saying I owe $900 in property tax and $200 in water "run off" tax.

Fuck yourself, Denver.

That's funny. I always marveled when they started the "Water run-off" tax. You can't save it because the state claims it but if you have more than X% of your property covered by roof or concrete you get taxed for giving it back to them. Catch 22.
