Being unwilling to admit what is obviously wrong (or right) has been going on for thousands of years. In itself, knowingly refusing to see obvious truth is many times a sin.
A modern example of this is the reason most of us are here today on The Malones Sub Stack, the Covid scam. Just to point out another obvious, when the Malones stood up and courageously went against the medical establishments push for the mRNA injections, we here all knew something was wrong. Forcing these experimental shots on people without informed consent, without proper testing and the harms we all saw they were causing, was a plain evil. At that time it took guts to speak out against this, it’s something I will always acknowledge and give the Malones and all of you great credit for. The courage too stand up to lies and tell the truth, even at your own peril brings me to words like honor, principle, virtue, ethics, integrity, rectitude.
There are so many wrongs being pushed today, many on children, it’s hard sometimes to not be overwhelmed. Men in women’s bathrooms and locker rooms. Men in women’s sports. No borders. No police. No jails. Girls can be boys, boys can be girls. Men can have babies. The very definition of a woman unknown. Socialism is good. So many lies, there are too many to list.
John 9:39 Jesus said, “I came into this world for judgment, in order that those who do not see will see and those who do see will become blind.”
John 9:41 “If you were blind,” Jesus told them, “you wouldn’t have sin. But now that you say, ‘We see,’ your sin remains.”
The religious leaders thought they saw (understood) but were blind. Their minds were made up and they refused to accept new evidence or information that might change their minds. They quizzed the blind man twice and his parents once, at first refusing to believe that the man had actually been blind. When they couldn’t deny the miracle, they questioned its source: Jesus could not be from God since He healed on the Sabbath. He must be a sinner. No amount of evidence or simple logic would convince them otherwise. They were obstinate in their unbelief—blind, though they thought they saw.
The chapter ends with these stinging words of Jesus. He came to make the blind see—not only physically, but spiritually as well. But those who refuse to believe will remain blind. The real sin is being hard-hearted: thinking you can see when you can’t, refusing to believe when the evidence is staring you in the face. It’s willful blindness.
I read a sign that said, “My mind is like concrete: thoroughly mixed and permanently set.”
This passage makes me ask, “Where am I blind? Where am I refusing to see and believe what God is doing right in front of me?” We all have blind spots—things we just don’t see. We don’t know what they are which is why they are called blind spots. We need each other to point those out. And we need to be shown where we think we see but are really blind. I don’t want to be willfully blind! I want to see!
Lord, show me where I’m blind, where I think I understand but I really don’t. I want to always be a learner, and not get set in my thinking or ways to the degree that I’m not open to new insights from You. Open my eyes and help me see new things from You today.
To accept truth, one must accept the source of truth, who is Jesus. He said, “I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life, and no man comes to the Father except through me.” John 14.
He also said, “Your Word is Truth.” John 17 Jesus and His Word is Truth; therein lies the standard of truth before all men. If you reject one, you reject the other.
When a person, culture, society, or religious organization, denies Jesus or His Word, they are living in a world of lies, and they are in active rebellion against God. That is why it is imperative for us to know Truth, based on its source.
We study various disciplines of academics in all areas of life, but I’m concerned that we have not focused on the one that needs to be the light to all other disciplines—God’s Word. This should be our source of truth, and we should be intimately familiar with its laws and principles of living out truth.

Amen, and this beautiful and something I try to do too. Let me stress try, because sometimes I don't want to know, but that is probably just because I feel the responsibility of some kind of action that comes from knowing, if that makes any sense. I probably should go to confession about this. (smile)
Something I wanted to say about "belief" based on a comment I made last week...about the truth that God is ineffable - cannot ever be completely expressed in words. The good thing is He is knowable. Something you feel in many ways, as well as learn about through scripture, etc. The other problem is that most of us have times of disbelief, myself included (like the father who exclaims to Jesus in Mark 9:24 "I believe, but help me in my disbelief). And there is another thing called a "dark night of the soul" re: St. John of the Cross.. Mother Theresa is the most famous contemporary example, in her diaries she confessed to something like a 50 year dark night of the soul, decades at least. She lost the sense of God, she would tell people "Jesus loves you" but she herself didn't feel it herself. Interesting it is said about her, that she never lost her faith and kept doing the work, despite not have the feel-good part of being a Christian, the "consolations" as Catholics call it, that many receive via undeserved grace, to bolster their belief. Thank you James, I so appreciate this space, thoughts and teachings you provide for us to learn, share and reflect.
Thank You MrsMc, I know at times we all have our doubts. There is no perfect person and I certainly know I’m not. I think this place we are all in is a great tribulation of our souls. People are given free will which is not an excuse for bad things happening, but I must always remember I haven’t reached my final destination if I’m blessed enough to get there some day. I certainly don’t have all the answers but I do have faith. If and when you read my posts think of them, at tines, as a question that I’m calling out and asking. I’m making my way through this place trying to figure things out as I go like all of us are. I’m sharing my thoughts so wonderful people like yourself can help me through, so Thank You for the help!
During a 2021 conference of the Young Democratic Socialists of America, Mamdani stated that “seizing the means of production” is an “end goal” of his political movement. Now he claims that's not part of his platform, but that's only because they don't YET have the support they need.
I'm glad you posted the listing of taxes. I have gotten so used to paying tax on Everything, the excessiveness needs to be listed. There are a few other people who have listed the absurd taxes we pay also, I hope it really spreads and pisses people off. What to do...
Vote the Democrats out, at the local and federal level. Trump has removed taxes on tips and Social Security, and wants to get rid of the income tax. This is moving in the right direction if we can kick the Socialists out (Democrats have been Socialists in moderate clothing for a long time). Don’t be distracted by psyops and particular issues you aren’t happy about. We need a massive turnout at the polls this fall to make it too big to steal.
Rush used to say that if the people ever found out what the democrats really believe no one would ever vote for them. We’re about to find out of he was right in Nov.
Not to mention all the taxes in the form of fees we pay every year. In Boulder County Colorado we pay more fees than we do tax and annual cost to register our car every year. Plus fees to have things delivered to our home plus a list of fees with our utility bill ...
Fees on top of fees and taxes are bad enough - the real issue, that makes my blood boil is the corruption, fraud and mishandling of that which is taken from us. We worked hard, saved, did without and paid off our mortgage and we still have to pay $1500 a month in insurance and homestead taxes. Which is only the beginning. 😡
Beware the Euro style Value-added tax - on producers only, hence hidden from consumers. Coming our way.
A Pfizer researcher said unforgettably, “We don’t look for cures, we look for markets”. Women take hormonal birth control and women get hormonal cancers.
Recently, I’ve been asking guys if they ever worry about getting a hormonal cancer or have even had a conversation about them. “Never and not until now”. Testicular cancer - also coming our way.
The first pic would be perfect if the dogs were all Pit Bulls as it leads to this question:
Are Muslims the Pit Bulls of the Human World or are Pit Bulls the Muslims of the Doggo World? Mostly peaceful.
What a Pfizer researcher said, "We don't look for cures, we look for markets." Absolute truth..but on top of that they lied to establish the use of vaccines. If people knew how their own bodies worked, they would never have taken vaccines. The natural Immune System attacks any kind of foreign matter, which does not belong in the bloodstream. It would try to clean out the substances in vaccines. Injecting substances, which do not belong in the bloodstream would not create immunity...it would overwork the ability of the immune system to defend the human body. The bloodstream was designed to carry nutrients from natural unprocessed food. This creates energy and health. Mankind lived for eons of time in the beginning... simply by eating natural food.The right food and a healthy lifestyle are the only things, which will provide cures.
One of the problems I see with the hatred of real estate taxes is that it is just one of many taxes that all essentially rob of our rights as enumerated in the constitution.
What to do: The masses unite as one people. They stop working, they stop paying taxes, they take their children out of school, they stop buying anything they don't absolutely need for survival, they grow their own food, learn survival skills. Basically, they drop out of the system en masse. That will never happen though. Most people just go along with it to stay out of jail...and to keep their property. It takes great courage and love for humanity to do something on that scale. Most people are too busy fighting each other because they've bought into the very successful division tactics. It would take a truly great awakening and courage for it to happen.
There is a fix for all the taxing (except property tax which should be eliminated because it IS unconstitutional) and that is simply this: separate spending from funding. Representatives propose spending but only taxpayers should be able agree to funding. Every proposal. Every year with a Doge report. Everyone then gets the government they want to the extent they are willing to pay for it. Everyone else votes for a representative who tries to persuade taxpayers to pay for what they want. Budgets shrink or swell based on taxpayer willingness and spending effectiveness. Funny how that eliminates the waste, fraud and lobbying corruption and puts politicians squarely in the firing sight line of THEIR constituents. Let’s stop wringing our hands and wagging our complainy lips and DO something about the ridiculous taxation! And not just blame the Democrats. I don’t see many Republicans refusing to jump on the spending bandwagon.
Dr. Malone, In honor of you, I am sharing the two readings from today’s Catholic Mass. Like Jeremiah, you MUST speak and share the TRUTH. Like the days of Jesus and his disciples, the “authorities” – scribes, pharisees, elders, priests, kings, etc., refused to recognize the truth and tortured and condemned the most truthful persons.
Reading 1
Jeremiah 20:7-9
You duped me, O LORD, and I let myself be duped;
you were too strong for me, and you triumphed.
All the day I am an object of laughter;
everyone mocks me.
Whenever I speak, I must cry out,
violence and outrage is my message;
the word of the LORD has brought me
derision and reproach all the day.
I say to myself, I will not mention him,
I will speak in his name no more.
But then it becomes like fire burning in my heart,
imprisoned in my bones;
I grow weary holding it in, I cannot endure it.
Gospel
Matthew 16:21-27
Jesus began to show his disciples
that he must go to Jerusalem and suffer greatly
from the elders, the chief priests, and the scribes,
and be killed and on the third day be raised.
Then Peter took Jesus aside and began to rebuke him,
"God forbid, Lord! No such thing shall ever happen to you."
He turned and said to Peter,
"Get behind me, Satan! You are an obstacle to me.
You are thinking not as God does, but as human beings do."
Then Jesus said to his disciples,
"Whoever wishes to come after me must deny himself,
take up his cross, and follow me.
For whoever wishes to save his life will lose it,
but whoever loses his life for my sake will find it.
What profit would there be for one to gain the whole world
and forfeit his life?
Or what can one give in exchange for his life?
For the Son of Man will come with his angels in his Father's glory,
and then he will repay all according to his conduct."
The Malones and other pandemic heroes have been like voices crying in the wilderness. We all need to speak truth, no matter what the price, and support others who do.
Thank you for sharing this, one of my favorite Christian writers/teachers is Catholic priest Ron Rolheiser. He writes of how God (Jesus) was treated on earth - spat on, ignored, ostracized for telling the Truth. "And the point is this: Christianity is the only religion which worships the scapegoat, the one who is hated, excluded, spat upon, blamed for everything, ridiculed, shamed, and made expendable. Christianity is the only religion that focuses on imitating the victim and which sees God in the one who is surrounded by the halo of hatred." Drs Malone haven't been spat on I hope but I see how they can be thought of as "innocent victims" Innocent victim - not to be confused with the societal claims of Marxism which divides humans into two categories. Victims vs Oppressors, based on mostly immutable factors like skin color.
Many people accuse Fr. Ron of being too far left and even socialist or communist. I don't think so though. His strongest point in this regard IMHO is that he posits that the only reference that Jesus will require in heaven is a reference for how you treated the poor, hungry, sick, imprisoned among you as in Matthew 25:35-40. You individually, yourself, not who you voted for, or even your party preference... LOL.
My parents built a home in eastern Pennsylvania in 1942. They worked hard to pay for it and finally paid the last mortgage payment in 1954. In 1970 they were retired, living mostly on social securtiy, and had to sell their home and move into a cheap apartment because they could no longer pay the local property tax and school tax. Incidentally, their kids hadn't been in the local schools for 16 years. I am now 88 and have to pay both city and county property tax, most of which is used to build infrastracture for new housing developments that benefit no one except the deverlpers of these properties. Fortunately, my wife is still able to work so we can pay the city and county their pound of flesh. This is why the lying rhetoric coming out of the mouths of these socialists, is so attractive to some.
I recently bought a gallon of paint and discovered in WA state there is a paint tax! This is addition to the sales tax! This state also charges a sales tax on the sale of our homes. Every time a car or RV is sold we are taxed, again and again--no matter how many times that car is sold it is taxed again. We are currently fighting an unconstitutional income tax. The list goes on and on. People, please vote and not for RINOs, vote for true constitutionalist who want to limit government.
We've all heard of "Influencers". I have a new term for the government: I now refer to them as 'Negative Influencers" (especially those in the federal health agencies). Whatever they espouse, approve of, promote, or encourage you to do, expect for it to negatively affect your health.
It would behoove us to generate a sage, well documented, legal argument confirming that property taxes are un-Constitutional, illegal and must be eliminated. Once created, it should be presented to President Trump with the prologue that if he signed an executive order banning property taxes nationwide before the midterms, and garnered the support for it of all the GOP candidates up for election, they would sweep the midterms, preserve his Presidency and permit him to complete his MAGA agenda unobstructed by pro-DSA, TDS-infected, anti-American, so-called democrats.
No, likely such a ban would not be legal. But every voter in every state should present this idea to their legislatures. Idaho activists sure are trying: https://idahofreedom.org/?s=Property+tax
The biggest scam/theft ever perpetrated is income tax payroll withholding. That is the driver of all our problems with our govt. most people today don’t realize the extent to which they are being ripped off. Many never look at their pay stub and try to understand it
But sadly not always smart about it. Once had a 125 lb lab come across a fresh pile laid,downby a horse. Dragged me to it and took a really big bite. And did not enjoy it one tiny bit. He was spitting all the way home
That rant on taxes just highlights why we need consumption tax. Unfortunately our government would just add that to the list instead of eliminating all the other taxes!
I read that book ages ago. Can’t remember the name. Written by some politician. Suggested 25% sales tax on what you consume. Consume more, pay more Sounds high until you realize that your wages, property and SS etc…won’t be taxed so you will make more money Plus immigrants (legal and illegal) and visitors will pay into it also since it’s based on what each person consumes in the USA
I just looked it up “Fair Tax” by Neal Boortz and congressman John Linder. They have a sequel that I didn’t know about called “Fair Tax the Truth: Answering Critics”. Will probably get that 1. Honestly, we have to try something different. Electing new people and hoping they will spend less or even spend with a conscience isn’t working
I remember when the toll roads in IL were going to charge a toll until they paid for the “initial” road. Hehehehehe…and if you believed that…
Let’s not forget to loudly decry one of the biggest taxes of all: INFLATION, mostly caused by government money printing and spending.
Yes, property taxes are inherently evil and unconstitutional. Our local paper regularly publishes notices of sheriff’s property auctions, most likely due to “delinquent” taxes or death without next of kin. Such auctions are absolutely tragic and never should happen in America. No one should lose the home or property they own because the government actually owns them!
In Idaho, at least, we have a bit of control over property taxes, but only if we vote in droves against levies and taxing districts for government services we do not need for survival. And only if we don’t elect socialist/communist city councils like the one in Boise that raises property taxes seemingly on a whim. But the irony is that people rarely turn out to vote except for the “BIG” flashy elections, which is exactly why levies and council candidates are placed on off-year, off-season ballots. The system is sneaky and despicable, but usually works — for feeding the government beast.
The list of taxes is similar to what we have in the UK. However, We have an additional one that you may not have - yet.
The Powers That Be have decided that if you own a second (holiday) property that you use exclusively for yourself, your family and friends then you have to pay your local area (council) tax at a multiple decided by the local council itself. So you can be paying up to 5 times (at the moment) what the normal rate is for your property. Property that has been in a family for generations is now becoming too expensive for the family to keep. You are responsible for this payment until you sell your property which can take years if it's in a remote place. The family history will be erased unless you are willing to rent the property out for something like 280 days each year which takes you into a business tax situation with all the strings attached but cheaper local tax. They really hate us, don't they??
I live in Scotland and we are blessed (not) with the SNP as the governing body. Despite what you read about landslide victories they got fewer votes than some of the opposing parties but teamed up with the Greens to form the Government. We have a somewhat weird voting system in Scotland. The prevailing attitude is Tax, Tax, Tax everything and everyone you can and then Spend, Spend, Spend on fripperies that benefit people who live on benefits handed out by both the Scottish Government and the British one. There are things that were never in anyone's manifesto and we certainly didn't vote for migrants to be fed, watered and housed in preference to our legitimate citizens. Apparently even free condoms are handed out to our new residents. The whole thing is just rotten as once elected it seems the Government can do what they like and we are expected to just suck it up. Sadly NYC is probably in for a few surprises judging by the way things are going.
Willful Blindness
Being unwilling to admit what is obviously wrong (or right) has been going on for thousands of years. In itself, knowingly refusing to see obvious truth is many times a sin.
A modern example of this is the reason most of us are here today on The Malones Sub Stack, the Covid scam.

At that time it took guts to speak out against this, it’s something I will always acknowledge and give the Malones and all of you great credit for. The courage too stand up to lies and tell the truth, even at your own peril brings me to words like honor, principle, virtue, ethics, integrity, rectitude.
There are so many wrongs being pushed today, many on children, it’s hard sometimes to not be overwhelmed. Men in women’s bathrooms and locker rooms. Men in women’s sports. No borders. No police. No jails. Girls can be boys, boys can be girls. Men can have babies. The very definition of a woman unknown. Socialism is good. So many lies, there are too many to list.
John 9:39 Jesus said, “I came into this world for judgment, in order that those who do not see will see and those who do see will become blind.”

Only on another planet and even then the chances of this united front are slim. Great vision of strength tho.
You're right. The civilization on this planet has not evolved to that point, but at least I can plant the seed.

But they did dry our hands ;-)
Sometimes
Only if you got there first.
Yeah, but I don’t remember thinking much about it back then.
Dr. Malone, In honor of you, I am sharing the two readings from today’s Catholic Mass. Like Jeremiah, you MUST speak and share the TRUTH. Like the days of Jesus and his disciples, the “authorities” – scribes, pharisees, elders, priests, kings, etc., refused to recognize the truth and tortured and condemned the most truthful persons.
Reading 1
Jeremiah 20:7-9
You duped me, O LORD, and I let myself be duped;
you were too strong for me, and you triumphed.
All the day I am an object of laughter;
everyone mocks me.
Whenever I speak, I must cry out,
violence and outrage is my message;
the word of the LORD has brought me
derision and reproach all the day.
I say to myself, I will not mention him,
I will speak in his name no more.
But then it becomes like fire burning in my heart,
imprisoned in my bones;
I grow weary holding it in, I cannot endure it.
Gospel
Matthew 16:21-27
Jesus began to show his disciples
that he must go to Jerusalem and suffer greatly
from the elders, the chief priests, and the scribes,
and be killed and on the third day be raised.
Then Peter took Jesus aside and began to rebuke him,
"God forbid, Lord! No such thing shall ever happen to you."
He turned and said to Peter,
"Get behind me, Satan! You are an obstacle to me.
You are thinking not as God does, but as human beings do."
Then Jesus said to his disciples,
"Whoever wishes to come after me must deny himself,
take up his cross, and follow me.
For whoever wishes to save his life will lose it,
but whoever loses his life for my sake will find it.
What profit would there be for one to gain the whole world
and forfeit his life?
Or what can one give in exchange for his life?
For the Son of Man will come with his angels in his Father's glory,
and then he will repay all according to his conduct."
The Malones and other pandemic heroes have been like voices crying in the wilderness. We all need to speak truth, no matter what the price, and support others who do.
Thank you for sharing this, one of my favorite Christian writers/teachers is Catholic priest Ron Rolheiser. He writes of how God (Jesus) was treated on earth - spat on, ignored, ostracized for telling the Truth. "And the point is this: Christianity is the only religion which worships the scapegoat, the one who is hated, excluded, spat upon, blamed for everything, ridiculed, shamed, and made expendable. Christianity is the only religion that focuses on imitating the victim and which sees God in the one who is surrounded by the halo of hatred." Drs Malone haven't been spat on I hope but I see how they can be thought of as "innocent victims" Innocent victim - not to be confused with the societal claims of Marxism which divides humans into two categories. Victims vs Oppressors, based on mostly immutable factors like skin color.
Many people accuse Fr. Ron of being too far left and even socialist or communist. I don't think so though. His strongest point in this regard IMHO is that he posits that the only reference that Jesus will require in heaven is a reference for how you treated the poor, hungry, sick, imprisoned among you as in Matthew 25:35-40. You individually, yourself, not who you voted for, or even your party preference... LOL.
The new doorbell buzzer is hysterical! It is a perfect example of not saying something nice and making it very funny!
Most taxes are theft. Property tax is a crime....
My parents built a home in eastern Pennsylvania in 1942. They worked hard to pay for it and finally paid the last mortgage payment in 1954. In 1970 they were retired, living mostly on social securtiy, and had to sell their home and move into a cheap apartment because they could no longer pay the local property tax and school tax. Incidentally, their kids hadn't been in the local schools for 16 years. I am now 88 and have to pay both city and county property tax, most of which is used to build infrastracture for new housing developments that benefit no one except the deverlpers of these properties. Fortunately, my wife is still able to work so we can pay the city and county their pound of flesh. This is why the lying rhetoric coming out of the mouths of these socialists, is so attractive to some.
I recently bought a gallon of paint and discovered in WA state there is a paint tax! This is addition to the sales tax! This state also charges a sales tax on the sale of our homes. Every time a car or RV is sold we are taxed, again and again--no matter how many times that car is sold it is taxed again. We are currently fighting an unconstitutional income tax. The list goes on and on. People, please vote and not for RINOs, vote for true constitutionalist who want to limit government.
We've all heard of "Influencers". I have a new term for the government: I now refer to them as 'Negative Influencers" (especially those in the federal health agencies). Whatever they espouse, approve of, promote, or encourage you to do, expect for it to negatively affect your health.
Maybe we can now refer to the NIH as the NINI. (National Institute of Negative Influencers)
Seems fitting that we could shorten the NINI to a bunch of "Ninnies".
I would overdose on all of the pills
Me too! I thought wow polypharmacy for me. It’s hard to choose which one I dislike most!
It would behoove us to generate a sage, well documented, legal argument confirming that property taxes are un-Constitutional, illegal and must be eliminated. Once created, it should be presented to President Trump with the prologue that if he signed an executive order banning property taxes nationwide before the midterms, and garnered the support for it of all the GOP candidates up for election, they would sweep the midterms, preserve his Presidency and permit him to complete his MAGA agenda unobstructed by pro-DSA, TDS-infected, anti-American, so-called democrats.
Can a president ban local property taxes? Does that undermine federalism?
No, likely such a ban would not be legal. But every voter in every state should present this idea to their legislatures. Idaho activists sure are trying: https://idahofreedom.org/?s=Property+tax
Someone explain to me how Govenor Ron DeSantis just did it! Eliminated property tax! How? Why not nationwide? If he could do it so can the rest of us.
The biggest scam/theft ever perpetrated is income tax payroll withholding. That is the driver of all our problems with our govt. most people today don’t realize the extent to which they are being ripped off. Many never look at their pay stub and try to understand it
Always trust your dog’s instincts! They know who is not trustworthy and let you know when they see/smell a pile of 💩
But sadly not always smart about it. Once had a 125 lb lab come across a fresh pile laid,downby a horse. Dragged me to it and took a really big bite. And did not enjoy it one tiny bit. He was spitting all the way home
lol 😂
That rant on taxes just highlights why we need consumption tax. Unfortunately our government would just add that to the list instead of eliminating all the other taxes!
I read that book ages ago. Can’t remember the name. Written by some politician. Suggested 25% sales tax on what you consume. Consume more, pay more Sounds high until you realize that your wages, property and SS etc…won’t be taxed so you will make more money Plus immigrants (legal and illegal) and visitors will pay into it also since it’s based on what each person consumes in the USA
I just looked it up “Fair Tax” by Neal Boortz and congressman John Linder. They have a sequel that I didn’t know about called “Fair Tax the Truth: Answering Critics”. Will probably get that 1. Honestly, we have to try something different. Electing new people and hoping they will spend less or even spend with a conscience isn’t working
I remember when the toll roads in IL were going to charge a toll until they paid for the “initial” road. Hehehehehe…and if you believed that…
Great set of tax rants. We concur completely!
Let’s not forget to loudly decry one of the biggest taxes of all: INFLATION, mostly caused by government money printing and spending.
Yes, property taxes are inherently evil and unconstitutional. Our local paper regularly publishes notices of sheriff’s property auctions, most likely due to “delinquent” taxes or death without next of kin. Such auctions are absolutely tragic and never should happen in America. No one should lose the home or property they own because the government actually owns them!
In Idaho, at least, we have a bit of control over property taxes, but only if we vote in droves against levies and taxing districts for government services we do not need for survival. And only if we don’t elect socialist/communist city councils like the one in Boise that raises property taxes seemingly on a whim. But the irony is that people rarely turn out to vote except for the “BIG” flashy elections, which is exactly why levies and council candidates are placed on off-year, off-season ballots. The system is sneaky and despicable, but usually works — for feeding the government beast.
The list of taxes is similar to what we have in the UK. However, We have an additional one that you may not have - yet.
The Powers That Be have decided that if you own a second (holiday) property that you use exclusively for yourself, your family and friends then you have to pay your local area (council) tax at a multiple decided by the local council itself. So you can be paying up to 5 times (at the moment) what the normal rate is for your property. Property that has been in a family for generations is now becoming too expensive for the family to keep. You are responsible for this payment until you sell your property which can take years if it's in a remote place. The family history will be erased unless you are willing to rent the property out for something like 280 days each year which takes you into a business tax situation with all the strings attached but cheaper local tax. They really hate us, don't they??
Sounds much like what the DSA mayor of NYC is trying to pull off.. with much resistance, essentially from the ignorant morons who voted him in!
I live in Scotland and we are blessed (not) with the SNP as the governing body. Despite what you read about landslide victories they got fewer votes than some of the opposing parties but teamed up with the Greens to form the Government. We have a somewhat weird voting system in Scotland. The prevailing attitude is Tax, Tax, Tax everything and everyone you can and then Spend, Spend, Spend on fripperies that benefit people who live on benefits handed out by both the Scottish Government and the British one. There are things that were never in anyone's manifesto and we certainly didn't vote for migrants to be fed, watered and housed in preference to our legitimate citizens. Apparently even free condoms are handed out to our new residents. The whole thing is just rotten as once elected it seems the Government can do what they like and we are expected to just suck it up. Sadly NYC is probably in for a few surprises judging by the way things are going.
