Colorado Ping ( Let me know if you wish to be added or removed from the list.)
What about TABOR? How can they rase property taxes without a vote? Or are they calling it a fee.
Cartels probably own your state, too.
They need their own Prop 13. Or was it 103?
It’s part of becoming a drugged-up NIMBY state taking in the flow of elite foreigners. Money, money.
Never live in a state where the property taxing authorities can't be restrained.
If you want government services, taxes have to increase.
Note, that includes Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, and SSI

The thread is about Colorado taxes. Colorado’s sales tax varies (depending on locality) from 2.9% to 11.2%. As the cost of purchases goes up with inflation so does the government’s “share” go up proportionally. Colorado’s income tax rate is 4.4%. As incomes go up so do income tax government receipts go up proportionally.
The problem is that the government and its massive number of parasites want an EVER INCREASING SHARE OF ALL INCOME.
As for the federal government, there are all THEIR PARASITES plus the GIBS ME DAT Bunch of Billions Zelensky acolytes.
Hey House-the thread is about Colorado PROPERTY taxes. A prop 13 would expose it all. The lefties can then raise sales taxes to make up the difference. They’ll get exposed again. People get the government they deserve. Should a Prop 13 make the big-time news there’s no senate seat up for grabs.
There are government services with taxes as they are so why do they need to increase?
You can also find ways to trim or eliminate other expenses to lower costs....but that doesn’t ever enter the illogic of democrats. Ever. Short of a threat to their existence, they’ll worm their way in contortionist forms to steal, cajole and outright fraudulently rob the tax payer. Always. just sayin’.
Right. Revenue is up but it’s never enough. Just like pubic schools.
Please add. Thanks
The government is not your mommy.
The USA was founded on the principle of equal opportunity, not equal outcome.
Wasn’t recreational marijuana supposed to be bringing millions if not billions of dollars?
Medicare Taxes would have to go at least 3X to generate the funds to save the system. Medicare took in $333 Billion last year and spent an additional $2 Trillion on top of that. Now over 1/3 of the Federal Budget and heading to half and no solution on sight. SS can easily be saved. Can’t wait to see what Congress does, there isn’t enough taxes to make it work no matter what you do even is you have a 90% tax rate for everyone.
SSI comes out of the SS Trust Funds
