This is so true. Since when are we fighting for people getting unlivable wages because it benefits us. What an entitled world view some people have.
"We're almost dead in the water" because we have to pay Americans decent wages for work we expected to pay half that to illegal migrants is an insane thing to admit out loud, let alone expect sympathy for.

I read once the most true description of grief: it’s love that has no place to go. 💔

You say that property tax revenue pays for local roads, public schools and libraries, and public services such as EMS, the police, and fire departments. Okay. Then explain: 1⃣ Why does not paying the tax cost you your house instead of costing you access to public roads and the aforementioned services? 2⃣ If everybody in a community uses the same roads and public services, why does a guy with 500 acres of land and a 5,000 ft² house pay more than a guy living in a 1,500 ft² house on a 0.4-acre plot? 3⃣ Why do we have a gas tax for the roads? 4⃣ Why do you get hit with a several hundred dollar bill to be hauled to the hospital in an ambulance?
YOU'RE NOT PAYING TAXES FOR THE PROPERTY, YOU'RE PAYING YOUR TOWN FOR THE SERVICES IT PROVIDES. THE ROADS, POLICE, SCHOOLS, FIRE DEPARTMENT, LIBRARY, SNOW PLOWS, EMERGENCY SERVICES AND SO MUCH MORE.

People cheering on property taxes is wild – at Los Ranchos de Albuquerque, NM
“I’m old. I’ve paid my home off,” said Ray Warner, a 72-year-old Akron resident. “Why would I pay property tax?” Across the country, homeowners are asking the same question and revolting against property taxes at a scale not seen in a half century. politico.com/news/magazine/2…

PLEASE FUCKING EXPLAIN WHY THE COST OF THOSE TOWN SERVICES ARBITRARYILY INCREASES BECAUSE PEOPLE MAKE THEIR HOMES PRETTIER AND VALUATIONS SPECULATIVELY RISE
