those of us who want to PROTECT AND DEFEND the 99% against the 1% are not crazy. As for your property taxes, I'm all for property taxes being raised on properties beyond a certain value that render these properties of the rich. I doubt yours fits into that. Am I correct in assuming your property doesn't fit into the description of a property owned by someone who is rich? Are you rich? Just asking, and not trying to play 'semantics.' I've played semantics with Repukes plenty of times, whereby they say, "Oh well, someone who makes $200,000 and has 14 kids is not rich!" That's just bullshit to prevent a real discussion.
