Whatever the ultimate outcome, Roe v Wade ain't saving Democrats this time.

I believe in solving problems, not sharing them.


The problem is, it doesn't make a difference if we elect Tweedledum or Tweedledee.

On the local level it does, because unlike National elections you're not stuck with only one or the other.


P.S. I'm assuming that it's a little known fact because almost nobody votes in mid-term elections, but that's also where they sneak past a lot of the property tax increases through referendums.

Why put that through the General election where people are going to catch it and say "fuck no".

That being said, my property taxes go up about $200 next year because all the dumb assholes that don't vote didn't even know they could have gone and voted last Tuesday against it.



ETA: As to not doxx myself, I won't give specific numbers, but I found the results of the local education referendum.

About 1/16th of the residents of the township are responsible for increasing property taxes on the rest of the township. About 1/32 voted against this increase.

Come next April, about 29/32 are going to wonder why the fuck their property taxes went up again and not even bother trying to figure it out.

Fair certain that figure is actually 31/32. The 1/16 who voted for raising their own taxes are going to wonder why their taxes got raised. Only the 1/32 who voted against are going to know why.

Yeah. Good point.

Although, how many of those 1/16 who voted for more money for the school system did so without realizing that they have to pay for it?

I bet it's more than 1. A LOT more.

We share oxygen with a lot of dumb assholes, buddy.

I've got an anecdotal example of this already that I've been meaning to post here for you, JSF...

When I was out cleaning my gutters last weekend my neighbor was out working on her weed garden for the first time in years and we'd got to talking about things. Somehow, the property taxes came up and she and her husband voted for the increases. I told her I voted against them and she said "Well you don't have kids.", then followed that up with "It's not supposed to be much... only like $20 per year".

LOL

That's when I let her know the truth.

I told her that I used a calculator provided by one of the local news outlets on my devalued property and I'm going to be paying $180 more per year after this passed. I didn't let her know that I know what her property is assessed at, but I did let her know to expect at least a $200 increase because this passed, let alone how much more they're going to be charging next year because of how fast the speculative market has increased property values around here in 2022.

All she said was "Oh.".

I let her know that you never vote to increase taxes. They outright LIED to her, and she's going to be paying TEN TIMES MORE than the liars at her school district told her she'd be paying after she voted for this, along with everybody else in town who voted against it or weren't even aware that it was up for a vote.


All of the property tax decreases our town had benefited from after I was one of less than 300 people to get us out of a very bad situation 5 years ago are going to be wiped out in a single year because people are fucking stupid (Both from voting for this voluntary tax increase, and as a side effect of raging speculation in the housing market making our houses worth FAR MORE than they are actually worth). It did not take long at all for our corrupt public school system to get their greedy little hands on that freed up money.

People with IQ under 100 shouldn't even be allowed to vote.

Libtards cannot cypher math. Math doesn't have feelings.

Democraps rely upon Libtards not being able to math.

I've never talked politics with her before... and although property taxes ARE adjacent to politics, I still don't feel I can get a read on her from the conversations we've had.

I've talked to her husband quite a bit over the years though. He's certainly not a Democrat.


But in this example, it's not even really a question of math. It was a question of trust and gullibility is all. They're still pretty young and dumb, and if they've been scammed before they still haven't learned from it. They were straight up lied to, and they did not take it upon themselves to do any research before they cast their vote under false assumptions that the school board planted in their (and their children's) heads.

And the school board that lied to them and all the other parents are, and will continue to be, free to do so because there will never be any accountability for the lies.

You claim he is not a Democrat.
He voted to give himself an extra $200 tax increase, for the first year, with even more to pile on.

You suggest it is not about math.
He did not do the math, which is exactly what Libtards bank on and avoid.
This used to be called Running The Numbers. Doing the math, oft to confirm your assumptions.
He did not run the numbers, which really means he can't math.

I don't see the mystery.


He will vote, again, for more tax increases for himself, and for RINOs, Libtards, and whoever else plies words he is gullible enough to swallow.

Yeah. So?

Democrats don't have a monopoly on stupid and gullible people.

No. That's not what it means.

He was lied to, and he took it on face value. Math was never part of the equation because if he or his wife looked at the math they would have known they were lied to.

Hopefully he learns from this mistake and doesn't do it again.

If you're honestly sitting here and claiming to me that you've never been duped in your life than you can go right on and get fucked.

I never said there was one.

He might. But for what little it was worth, he voted Libertarian against our RINO governor just like I did for how he handled the fake Covid bullshit.
