CTP (S3E116) The Fight Against Property Tax
Exploring more of the fascinating intersection of Activism, Community Engagement, Faith / Religion, Human Nature, Politics, Social Issues, and beyond
Property taxes transform homeownership into an endless rental agreement with the government, creating a system where no one truly owns their property and seniors risk losing homes they've paid off.
• Carla Wagner founded Ax MI Tax (axmitax.org) to eliminate property taxes through a ballot initiative
• During COVID, business owners and landlords still had to pay property taxes even when income was restricted
• The slogan "Lose your spouse, lose your house" highlights how seniors on fixed incomes can lose homes when a spouse dies
• Michigan added $30 billion in spending over six years without improving essential services
• Property tax elimination could be funded by returning to pre-COVID spending levels
• School funding is complex - most property tax school millages fund facilities, not education
• Biblical charity teaches self-sufficiency while government programs often create dependency
• Similar property tax elimination efforts are underway in Ohio, Texas, Florida, and other states
• Citizens can bypass politicians through ballot initiatives rather than waiting for legislative action
To support the initiative, visit axmitax.org to volunteer as a petition circulator or sign the petition if you're a Michigan resident (contact axmitax.org to start Property Tax elimination battle in your State).
