(33,726 posts)In NJ - in my Borough - 89% of our property taxes we collect go to our stellar school system.
Constituents of mine - saved 10 years to buy their home. Make $113K a year as a Borough Public Works employee and County Daycare worker. Was able to give our working class a little break so their property taxes will only top out at approx 8K.
The SALT Cap implemented in the 2017 Tax Cut and Jobs scam hurt that working class family significantly.
Oh but JAG! They are rich.
Only if they live in Mississippi.
See they are only allowed to deduct 10K. So what about their state income tax?
But JAG! They are rich!
Dear Readers - the SALT Cap was punishment for those who chose Home Rule instead of going to Fed Gov with their hands out. It was designed to make that working class family of four pay property taxes twice.
But JAG! They're rich!!!!!
Wait until those sons of bitches cut the Department of Education. I suspect our kids in my district and New Jersey will be just fine.
We'll be fine.
But I relish the rich family of four in Mississippi having to actually pay the 8K a year to educate their kids in addition to
Public Works.
See - they are RICH! Let them eat cake. They better eat that shit up.
