Just had a MAGA Tax Assessor come to my property for a revaluation.

She pulls up in my yard with a magnetic sign on her car stating who she was. I went outside to call off my barking dog (we live out in the country...dogs are free agents here) and she told me what she was here to do. I asked if she needed to come inside, she said no, and that she'd only be a moment and didn't mean to bother me.

I said "I'm fine with whatever you need to do: I'm not anti-government"

She said "Boy I AM anti-government!!! Especially since 2020!"

I said "why is that?"

She said "because they're all evil!!"

I said "I sure don't think so! They're just like you and me! They're our friends and neighbors, and they're just doing their jobs, just like you're doing now!"

She lowered her voice and said "well, I think they're evil, but I'll just be a minute and I'll be out of your hair".

Good point. She's probably going to assess me for twice what my property is worth! BComplex Apr 2023 #9
Guess what? If you don't like the assessment you can challenge it because of her statements ZonkerHarris Apr 2023 #6

Why so many who hate the government spend millions to get elected to be PART OF the Government?

She knows how awful she is, what she would do to others if she wasn't constrained by laws and others sense of morality, and she assumes that everyone else is just like herself.

That's my current belief as to how these sorts of people function, and it seems to be a pretty good model. Definitely explains why for them, every accusation is a confession.

I thought about calling the county manager (who is a friend of mine) and tell her about her government tax representative hating the government.

I haven't done that yet.

Do your civil duty because someone who works for our government shouldn’t represent it. She sounds like MAGA. She might even have been at the capitol J6. Two birds with one stone. LOL

so she must be treated as such especially since she is assessing your property tax, you should have told the loon how wonderful the conman is and as she drove away laughed your ass off.

That's ok. I'll take it to the tax office and say "WTF???" They'll lower it if it's out of line.

Acting requires talent and creativity, which Republicans don't have. Trump was just playing himself, no acting involved.

But I'm sure this tax assessor idiot thinks it's the evil government that is arresting that crook.

Up is down, down is up, blue is red.
