Get out your ping lists and ask everybody on it to send Rush an email every day that they don't hear him talking about the Reagan Renaissance.

This is why MANY politicians do NOT want a flat tax. The ability to control all aspects of our lives rest in the tax code. It is evil above all and our number one problem. If people actually had one number that they could see in the payment of all their taxes they would first vomit, second they would revolt.

We are being held as slaves to a system that serves few on the backs of many and the elected are happy with it.

I am young (27) ready and willing. How do I even begin to travel down a path of becoming an elected official in the federal government?

I make more doing what I do now than state politicians, but I would be willing to take a cut if I could let my fellow Americans keep what they earn and put an end to legalized stealing.

What does he have to show for it? Well, he has a pretty good armed services, roads that he can drive on, a food supply that is safe, police/fire departments, air traffic controllers, a stable business environment in which to invest his money, a more or less well-managed economy, and a host of other services that he no doubt uses but feels are somehow lavished on him for free.

You pay $20,000 per year in property taxes? God Bless America!

Just curious what you are paying taxes on. You are retired so you don't have payroll taxes. You noted that $15,000 to $20,000 is from property taxes. Your consumption would indicate that sales and excise taxes would not be that large. Is the remainder primarily from capital gains?

[RedBloodedAmerican]

You think emailing it to Rush is going to fix it? LOL! Sorry - I just don't see it happening.

$20k in property taxes per year - on your home property? What percent of the property value are you at? Your in a (estimating here) $20 million home? If you have that much moola, what do you care about a few grand? Just curious.

[porte des morts]

I must echo the question others have asked; if you pay 20K in property taxes, yet have been debt free for 20 + years, you have to be sitting on one hell of an asset.

[porte des morts]

Your consumption + taxes is averageing 72,ooo per year? You don't work, and are debt free? There's a whole lot of unanswered questions before I feel too sorry for you.

Take out an equity loan and buy a beach front condo in Daytona Beach or Palm Coast. the real estate market is going nuts here. Rent it out by the week during special events and you'll make your mortgage payments on those few weeks alone.

Nice post. Thank you.

Here's an idea: Send me a million dollars and I will tell everyone that you are a great, great guy!

Not many years ago I was paying $20,000 in property taxes on just two houses in New Jersey. Moved to Pennsylvania, nice 4-br house, taxes under $400 a year.
I could laugh myself to sleep every night.

Seriously, have you ever considered retiring overseas?
