I have worked all my life, no matter when or what i rented. So now i get punished for buying a house raise my taxes? You all know we don't need a NYC, let alone another Como for a governor. retirement? Good luck. My taxes , both and school and property taxes went from 1200 back in 2000 for 1.16 acres to now close to 2500. Its time NYState to eliminate school taxes, like PA. Just to point out: The lowest-cost education system in the United States is Utah, at about $7k per pupil, per year. This means getting a kid through high school costs about $91,000. This mean even if all your $2,000 of taxes - school and property - went to education, it'd take over 45 years just to pay back the cost of your own education. Then there's the wife. We spend way more than that on public schools here. About triple. A typical upstate taxpayer isn't even going to get close to paying that back. The working class is subsidized by the wealthy. That's just how it is everywhere and always has been, and it'd be true even with a perfectly flat tax system: people who make ten times as much would pay ten times more. As it is, about 80% of all federal income taxes come from the top 20% of taxpayers, who start at around $100k income. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
