Clark Stinks & Why Property Taxes Are Soaring and How To Fight Back

After CVS almost gave me a heart attack wanting $444 for one on my wife's Alzheimer's 90 day supply good Rx only wanted $76 at a Shop rite in the getto and around $120 in a nice Shop Rite area. CVS will not allow me to use Gold RX because we are paying over $240 A month for a Medicare Prescription plan.

Great comment on the credit cards, which cards are the best!! Love the show!! 🥰

LIBERALS is why property taxes are going up .

Clark, you should investigate homestead and school tax exemption fraud and abuse. Counties and school districts lose countless and vast amount amounts of revenue due to this. Then the honest taxpayers have to make up for it because a County wont do the rollback millage rate. Commissioner's that want it get out voted. There is a true abuse and fraud of homestead exemptions. I asked WSB to look into this, specifically you.

The lascivious County Board should have an obligation to purchase at their assessed valuation any property that fails to sell on the open market at at least 98% of the assessed value they have based their exorbitant taxes on.

if you appeal, are you not afraid they will charge you more? Private businesses will do that.

The sad truth is that no one has a clue, we all react to what happens as it happens and try to analyse it but can’t predict an iota of what is going to unfold in the markets… content creators are like amplifiers, when times are good they affirm it and try to tell you why it’s good and that it’s looking bullish but then all of a sudden the market turns bearish and everyone affirms it again and try to analyse why… it’s so sad that many are so powerless and it's not about guessing the market's next move; it's about playing it smart and steady during trading...managed to grow a nest egg of around 2.3Bitcoin to a decent 19Bitcoin in the space of a few months.Thanks once again, Seren Wintersun., for your consistent updates and continued support.

Church's dont pay income tax or property taxes. THAT'S NOT RIGHT.

82% of my Property taxes are SCHOOL TAX that's $5,869 this year. $500 per month just school. Median teachers salary $103,000.

Real estate property taxes were frozen for citizens 62 and older here in Missouri recently. So what does our super woke Democrat Socialist mayor in our city propose? A 12.5% increase in our sales tax rate! She says that she needs more money to support fire and police service, but it is really for her woke agenda.

I think the property taxes shouldn't be based on the property value, but on what it costs to the city to provide services for that property. That is the purpose of the property tax in the first place.

I am not naive, I realize community services must be funded. My beef with property taxes is that in the same neighborhood, just because my neighbor doesn't have the same property value as me, we are charged a different rate for the same exact services.

Equity rich homeowners that got lucky deserve to pay higher property taxes on their appreciated assets or just sell and rent. You are not a victim you have a choice.

Property taxes are soaring because the home values have gone way up.

Bought my house in 1990 for $150k. Small raised ranch, 1/2 acre. It’s now valued at $375k. Property taxes are $6,713 annually. I live in Connecticut.

My daughter, who lives an hour away, has a home 3x the size of mine, on 7 acres. Her property tax is $2500 more than mine. The differences are crazy.

I think it all depends on what the makeup of the town’s base is. For instance, my town has no big retail stores, no fast food chains, except for 2 Dunkin’ Donuts. Not a lot of businesses. It relies mostly on property taxes. A lot of that money goes to the upkeep of our schools (three middle schools and one high school), and one large baseball field. We also have a large recreation area with a lake, basketball court, and picnic areas with a pavilion on one side of town, and on the other side, we have another recreation area with a pavilion and hiking trails. Our town has 2 large lakes, 4 farms, and an equestrian center.

I’m not sure what comprises my daughter’s town base. But they do have a lot more businesses.

Newsom and Sacramento have been trying to repeal Prop. 13, which for years has always been the 3rd rail of California politics. They want to tax us out to get free housing for illegals, or as they're better known "future Democrat Socialists."

Schools are the ones driving property taxes up. Fifty‑six percent of my bill goes to school projects that don’t make kids any smarter. We keep getting new auditoriums, football fields, and other administrator pet projects instead of real academic improvement.

Checks. I am very careful with my my monthly check. Yes, only 1. For my rent. I live in Seattle. I live in Hud housing. Over a decade ago, Seattle Housing thought they could save money by going to an out-of-state processor. However, what happened was a double whammy to those who tried using their bank's bill pay. This caused their PAPER CHECKS sent through their eastern centralized banks to be payed after the management's late fee went into effect. They had to travel from the residents' eastern city to the eastern processor for management. After about about a year SHA changed their processor back to one in SEATTLE and lengthened the period before rent is considered late to account for mail times from out-of-state bill paying banks. I just went back to mailing my check from within Seattle. It is the only check i write every month. In 30 years it has never been stolen.

I write it on the first of the month and mail it via my apartment building's outgoing mail slot in our secure mailboxes setup. If the first business day, Monday-Friday, minus holidays, is after the first business day is after a weekend, i put it in the mailbox that day (usually Monday). That way there much less time for someone to try to break into the outgoing mailbox slot.

By the way, i monitor my
Checking account daily until until the check comes in. I have also tried to arrange other electronical payments to leave my account AFTER the rent is received so the money is there to pay the rent.
I only have SSI, so my money is deposited on the first of the month, or the last business day of the previous month if the first is on a holiday or the weekend. bills are on the forth or later.

⭐️Oh, the banks are supposed to be processing electronic payments immediately by law now, but Chase still waits until the evening to do this as in the past. This change is in recognition of electronic instantaneous payment transaction times that are being used by banks.
Other countries, such as those in the EU, already do this. This means that we can not depend on USA traditional lag times in check cashing.

Because this country has descended into a slow glide into government tyranny. They own your home, not you.

Love me some prop 13 :)

Hello Clark. Great Content. Our property taxes are evaluated just as you stated. Sales of similar properties. We have lucked out with discounts on Homestead, over 65, and solar panels. Look for discounts and apply for them.

Why are schools asking for more than inflation when the number of kids are shrinking? I have seen one case where the state reduced their contribution, and schools are asking for increases in property tax. My understanding is schools are primarily funded by property tax.

Have a Blessed day.
