IRS announces new federal income tax brackets for 2026

Not supporting the status quo as far as property taxes, necessarily, just irked when people say "i'm retired I shouldn't have to pay". Presumably there's some services in your town you pay for, unless the town just wastes it, which is another issue entirely. street cleaning, clearing, garbage(?)... snow removal. Older people as a general rule require as many if not more services.

In my town, I voted against a new budget that would have raised property taxes. We successfully defeated it and I can afford to live in this town.

One day I'll be retired, hopefully, and my opinion will still be my opinion. If you use services you should pay for them, one way or the other.

I've never said "do away with property taxes for retired people." What I have, and fully intend to continue saying, is "Do away with property taxes entirely!" As in for everyone!

Hey i'm right there with you. Services can be privatized, or can use "Use taxes", or we can use sales taxes... or maybe just sales taxes on property only at POS.
