and how they were increased above your already-low, *taxpayer-subsidized rate* because of “Jerry’s kids”!

Talk about nonsense – taxpayers subsidizing me? There’s no way in the world jerry’s kids are subsidizing me – no way.
I’m not even a RE investor per IRS rules. I did not buy the house strictly as an investment.[/quote]
Not only are your property taxes subsidized (assuming prices have risen more than 2% per year since you’ve bought it), but the interest rate on your mortgage is also subsidized if it’s a govt-backed mortgage.
But you’re deflecting again, as always. Answer the question: Which taxes, specifically, are higher than market rate because of “Jerry’s kids”? And by how much, exactly (show your work!). Let’s see actual numbers. And specify exactly why you think it’s “Jerry’s kids” vs. your fellow taxpayers/voters who’ve voted for additional debt or overly-fancy new schools, parks, libraries, or other improvements that are being reflected on your tax bills (and how about those multimillionaire developers and all of the other “private sector” govt contractors…are they “Jerry’s kids,” too?).
