Crime Officer, Court Official Killed During Tax Eviction

@jk7707 the one guy is trolling, if you find what the other two said 'disturbing,' you're unbelievably soft.

I could see not paying the mortgage but getting evicted from your own home over taxes is insane

If you fail to pay your credit card you can lose your home.

 

[Ichibanner]

I feel for anyone who is facing eviction but, murdering people who are simply trying to do their job isn't the answer.

Families lost loved ones and this guy loses everything anyway. Senseless.

How? They put a lien on it?

Well given that context, fuck that guy. House was bought from underneath him but not really. Had every opportunity to right his wrong and instead killed two people and then somehow got peacefully arrested.

IIRC some places like MA have reps/senators who are looking into giving back the former homeowner the equity which they put in, and not just losing everything. I looked it up- the MA supreme court said the practice was unconstitutional just last year.

Crazy considering all of the people that are squatting and nothing is done.

In California? Probably sex changes for guys on death row, and illegals

Property taxes fund local services like roads, public schools, police, municipal works. Your ire should be focused on corporations and billionaires which have managed work the system so that they don't pay taxes and stick the bill to the working classes.

Cool. I'll add you to the list since you believe sympathizing with the cold blooded murderer here is fine.

 

[Confucamus]

There are consequences to not paying your fare share. However you view it, murdering two people can't be justified even in this case.

Crazy considering all of the people that are squatting and nothing is done.

This is actually a damn good point.

 

[Hdfi]

Not surprised that you would stick up for a scumbag squatter.

and I knew you would be in favor of tyranny.

 

[jk7707]

Not really. It just depends on the state and how motivated the owner is to go through the legal steps to evict someone. If you read the articles about this case, this was the last step in a year-long eviction process. So this guy had been squatting already for around a year.

 

[oldshadow]

I understand you must pay taxes for public services. However property taxes are way to high in most places. There should be reviews and taxes lowered on property in most places.
As well as reviews on where that money is going.

All that said it's crazy to kill people that are just doing what their job requires them to do. Killing these cops was a shit thing to do.

Just because you've read Ayn Rand doesn't make it true.

Hard not to sympathize with the property owner because we all know it's theft. My father in law paid 11k a year im taxes on a paid off house that was worth 350k. I pay almost 8k a year. It's egregious. Basically rent. You never own anything

I had (2) Saabs, but only really needed one. Had my insurance turned off, and parked one in my garage for 5 years. The Saab I was using blew a head gasket, and had some other issues and I decided to scrap it.

I have the insurance turned back on, and go to the DMV to pay for registration. They said I had to pay the 5 year gap that I didn't pay in order to get current registration. It was going to be like $1,000.

I ended up getting out of state registration from South Dakota for like $100, and then its $50 a year after that.

A bunch of thieves the government is.

 

[James Eagle]

So taxation isn't theft?

I've yet to encounter a libertarian with a cohesive and practical attitude towards taxation. It's just a religious belief masquerading as economic doctrine.

Feel free to pay into your socialist utopia

Sales tax on money you were charged income tax on, capital gains taxes, on money you were already taxed on that you gambled with
Buy land, build a house, not only do you pay taxes on both, but in perpetuity you pay taxes on the land. The government didn’t own the land, but they collect the taxes.
Then when you amass your fortune and die, your kids get an inheritance tax, on money your dad was already taxed on.

Then we send the money to Ukraine so it can be washed and sent back to us politicians

 

[WhiteMousse]

Taxes are theft, sure. Roads and the fire department should just pay for themselves by private contributions. We could all live in libertarian utopia sponsored by corn nuts - corn to the core.

If taxes were going exclusively towards things like that-- towards things that better the American people, I would have no issue with it. I believe that most people would feel the same. I don't disagree with the principle of taxes, but I do take issue with how it's being implemented. Anyone with even the most mild understanding of finance can see when you tally things up, most of our money is not going towards such things. You can misrepresent me all you'd like, but I sincerely doubt that you truly believe that the American taxpayer's dollar is not being misused.

Edit: I'd call your attention to the fact that I said these people were murdered, and did not deserve it. This person, whoever he is, should pay the price. And he should have paid his taxes too, and I'm not contradicting myself by saying so. Even if a law is wrong or is being misused, it's still a law. The way you responded indicates that you think I'm somehow complicit in that kind of activity. But I'm not. I conceded the fact that american taxpayers are being taken advantage of, and also that the people who were murdered are not to blame, and not the ones upon whom the responsibility should fall.

 

[WhiteMousse]

This is kind of a straw man. I think most libertarians believe there is a reasonable middle ground between absolutely no taxes and the absurd amount most people in the West are taxed these days.

Thank you. Even with higher taxes I think most people are more likely to support it if 1) the money is truly going towards making lives better for citizens and, maybe more importantly, 2) they are given very clear and easily accessible documentation of where and how it's being distributed.

It's also an obligation of the american people to find this out for themselves, regardless of whether its easy to understand or not. Most people don't, thus why you can see people who have no problem whatsoever.

How? They put a lien on it?

Here in Canada they would sue you, obtain judgment, then they could enforce the judgment through a writ of possession.

Death and taxes kiddos….apparently sometimes at the same time!

In England and Wales, for unsecured debts they can get a charging order meaning they are paid when your house is sold (no minimum debt) and compel sale if the debt is £1000 or more. You would have to really exhaust the system's patience to lose your home for credit card debt though.
