How much is enough in life?

[lithy]

I don't want to pay the utilities on a $1M house much less the taxes, insurance, and maintenance.

wasabi, what do you feel you are lacking in your life?

If I had a 1M house in my current village, my taxes would be about $38,000 a year.

I’d really like to own an original Kent Monkman painting.

In two years, if you could read this post again, you'd think how ridiculous it was that at one time you wanted this.

In two years time Wasabi will have a baby and will be worried getting the poop of the wall where his Kent Monkman original is hung.

You should learn to appreciate fine art.

And fine wine.

Now you see why Trump capped SALT deduction.

When bullshit seems to be quite enough, you'll know when to check yourself out.

In the UK the top rate of property tax, payable on homes worth over about $2m, is around $5k per year. It doesn't go higher than that. It also doesn't go a lot lower than that, the bare minimum on the cheapest house you could find would be $2k per year.

Different playing fields I guess.

So people who are paying enough $16k A year in school tax can send even more money to the federal goverment to bomb countries?

I don't think there are any Million dollar single unit homes in my village. They tend to top out at $300,000-$400,00.

In nearby villages where there are actually a supply of million dollar homes, the property tax is more like $30,000.

Property tax is crazy.

You bust your ass to pay for something and then you still need to pay for it? You literally pay for the privilege of being able to pay the government more money.

The rationale, as far as I understand it, is if your home is larger you will be in general a larger consumer, produce more garbage, need more clearing up after, have more things worth stealing so require more policing, be more likely to have a house fire etc etc. All of this is, of course, tenuous at best, and probably just outright wrong in many circumstances.

No property tax in China

right, but I'm not sending more kids to school because my house is bigger.
education is one of the biggest expenses on my property taxes.

I’d have to pay property tax even on unimproved land.

@lonesage? No property tax and they locked up all the Moslems? Sounds great

You would have very low property tax in Delaware, as well as low tax on everything else.

Prisoners don’t pay tax.

Hahahahahahahahaha.

We're all prisoners, in a sense.

How about I get back my loan payments?

I ain’t paying into a pyramid scheme that I’m not getting a taste of.

Don't worry, the Democrats aren't going to do anything to help people poorer than you.
