Most places are around 1% of value with many having caps on increases in value or other differences in taxed and actual value. This means his house is worth 1,000,000 to 1,600,000

If he was really living on 24k he wouldn’t be able to pay 12,000 in property tax. He bought when it cost almost nothing and spent most of his life paying neither rent nor mortgage unlike most of us and has a reasonable retirement.

He could at any time sell and live better than you or I even if he didn’t have a dime other than the house. Instead he uses his time to whine about his good fortune.

There have been no deaths shown to be related to the MMR vaccine in healthy people. Tons of kids will die from measels

Anaphylaxis is typically treatable especially at the Dr most people live even in that incredibly rare event.

There have been no deaths shown to be related to the MMR vaccine in healthy people.

If this was so it wouldn’t be half his ss in property taxes. Average ss is 1900 a month

It trivially is in any hot market

Depending on area 40k property tax means a 3-4M house. Poor rich people!

Outside of fantasy no that is just nonsense

Nobody needs a summer and winter home tax the living shit out of rich fuckers with 2

Its almost 2000

If I could either work for 30k at home or do a 140k job abroad for 80k I would willingly get ripped off and exploited. It doesn’t make it less bullshit that we don’t offer such talented folks citizenship and a fair wage.

They are literally killing children and babies same as if they were standing there stepping on their little faces and leaving bloody footprints in their wake. No sympathy for child killers.

Property tax funds important things like schools, emergenct services, etc.

if he was destitute otherwise would already have sold it. You are arguing in favor of a tax break for some rich prick probably worth north of 3 million not paying the taxes that pay for your kid to get a decent education because basically feels.

Its no more immoral than you giving up your income.

Comparing property taxes now in 2025 dollars to unadjusted original cost in 1950 dollars is nonsensical. The two numbers bear no relation nor should they.

The average social security check is $1,978 a month or $23,736 per annum. Half of that is $11,868. Lets suppose he lives in CA where the annual rate for owner occupied is 0.74%. His house would be worth approx 1.6 million dollars. To to be clear he is whining about paying the appropriate and legal tax on his fully owned 1.6M cash hoard. This is a great problem to have.

If its that burdensome he can cash out and even with rent payments for the rest of his life live great even if he has no other savings of any sort.

Looks like about $5800 a month gradually increasing with inflation for at least 25 years.

If he has another $400,000 which seems super likely since I don’t think he’s actually living in his 1.6M house on $12,000 a year it could be more than 7500 a month.

If we add a little realism and only include another 15 years he could probably actually withdraw about 11,000 a month.
