You are retarded. Property taxes are rolled into your mortgage payments and directly affect what a new home owner can afford.

Then why not LOWER property tax and LOWER prices. Why just eliminate property tax. That's only going to replace the cost of property tax with inflated house price.

ITS JUST ANOTHER SCHEME TO BAIL OUT BOOMERS.
 
In spite of all the doomerism, Muslims are still only 1% of the population. They get westernized hyperfast here. The data says 25% of people raised muslim become non-muslim but that's an average. In my inlaws cousin's fam - 3 of the 4 kids went on to become atheist/christian. In spite of all the VOCAL MUSLIMS they are still only 1% of the population and that's not enough data to say they uniformly vote left.

Think Michigan, huge Muslim population, yet because the State is hyper-white, the muslims have no voting power. Gretchen Whitmer vocally supports Israel constantly and its never hurt her once. And its worth noting the muslim population didn't stop Trump from taking Michigan in 2024.

I think the whole Islam as a voter group thing is overblown. Unless we import a million fucking Syrians and Palestinians, muslims are a nonissue.
And if we do that America is fucked culturally long before electorally.
They seem to degenerate a lot faster than Christians, that's for sure. I assume the rules against drinking and eating pork is part of it because it's probably the dumbest rule out of any monotheistic religion in the history of mankind.

That and Islam falls apart once you apply morality to it, considering its origins.
 
The plan of whom? Jews? People like Ben Shapiro spent years giving him zero oxygen at all, their recent meltdowns were all because he got platformed in the mainstream. If the Jews are scheming to make Fuentes the scapegoat for all antisemitism, is the idea here that they orchestrated him breaking out of containment only to then spaz out about it..? It seems more likely that it just happened organically because people are sick of sending them four billion a year, people are sick of Ted Cruz style Israel-first politicians, and people are sick of the war in Gaza.
It's simple. The average normie who sees Fuentes wants nothing to do with him five minutes later and that discredits whatever ideas he's pushing by extension.

The intel world calls this "shit-smearing" and is a viable op they've used forever to discredit movements around the world.

It's best to sperg about the problem now before it becomes a real one. I don't want America to become the next France or England.

The women especially tend to Westernize very, very quickly. Like I don't understand right wing spergs who think that Muslim women are somehow constitutionally different than any other woman and are 'based' and 'trad'. Women look and act the way they do in the west because they are responding to systemic pressures. Apply those same pressures to a Muslim woman and she will look and act the same way in no time at all. Change those systemic pressures and it will affect all the women in society. It's why Muslim immigrant groups in Europe are so insular and refuse to assimilate - they recognize that the second their women are drawn out of the little cultural vacuum chambers that they have created for them it's game over. They will all be wine-drunk insta hoes or pudgy wokescolds in a single generation. The same goes for the based, trad mail order brides that socially maladapted libertarians tend to import from Asia - the second she figures out that she can get half your money if she takes you to court you're fucking done.

Abolishing property taxes outright would put more pressure on other sources of tax revenue (i.e. income and sales tax) in order to make up the funding without accompanying spending cuts.
Make up the difference with Sales Tax. I can choose to not pay that tax by not buying unnecessary items and groceries are already exempt.

As it stands now, you either pay property taxes because you own a house or you pay property taxes because the landlord you're paying rent to is passing the costs of property taxes on to you. They're completely unavoidable if you want to have a roof over your head.

I want to OWN my home. I don't want the government to own my home.

If they actually wanted to solve the issue take the tax burden that eliminating property taxes on primary domiciles creates and place it ALL on additional properties owned by one person or by any residential property held by a corporation. Make property hoarding or investing in residential real estate completely economically untenable.
 
Give me optimistic rates, but I don’t think they’re gonna be able to pull off a color revolution like 2020.

-Major funding sources cut off
-Loss of control of culture
-Shitty human assets (grannies + menopausal women)
-No inciting incidents available (blacks checked out + majority of public wants all illegals deported)

Edit: remember how there was supposed to be a huge protest in DC on the 5th? That got memory holed when nobody showed up.
They don't have the power to flex like they used to because their own party is having a civil war for control of the DNC's future.
They united against Trump in 2016. When he got reelected, it broke them. Now the loony left and the more reasonable democrats can't agree on anything.
 
Reminder to all, that Bill Clinton wasn't tried for receiving a blowjob, but for a wide-range of crimes including misuse of FBI information, sexual assault cases and others. The lies about Monica Lewinsky were about witness credibility. I say this because growing up all I got from the media was how puritan Republicans were making a fuss about his sex life and it was none of a court's business but something domestic.

It was genuinely quite a shock when as an adult I finally learned what the investigation was actually about.
The fact he ended up disbarred because of his conduct in court during the impeachment trial tells you everything.
 
This is funny because it's not just that they clog up the highways, they do not know how to drive in a developed country. They sit in the left lane, they merge randomly, they can't or won't follow rules.

They are undocumented so the liability insurance where they drive skyrickets, good luck getting assets from Pablo when he hits your car.

It's so much worse of a problem than anyone says.

I'd be completely fine with this even if I think the threshold should be more than a few properties so I can accumulate them to give to my kids without being penalized.

It’s to distract from the Indians. Look at Texas. Abbott is enraged at Pakistani Muslims building an ethnic enclave, but he actively encouraged Indian Hindus to build ethnic enclaves in his state. There are way more Hindus than Muslims there.
