Clueless liberal quote of the day:
"I'm at the breaking point," said Gretchin Gardner, an Austin artist who bought a 1930s bungalow in the Bouldin neighborhood just south of downtown in 1991 and has watched her property tax bill soar to $8500 this year. "It's not because I don't like paying taxes," said Gardner, who attended both meetings [of "irate homeowners"]. "I have voted for every park, every library, all the school improvements, for light rail, for anything that will make this city better. But now I can't afford to live here anymore."

The fail starts in sentence one...

On a recent evening, more than 300 homeowners who are worried about their rising property tax bills filled First Unitarian Universalist Church in North Austin for a town hall meeting.

The funny thing is, if you take it out of these tards' checks bi-weekly, they wouldn't even notice.  Texas has no income tax.  They get it through sales and property taxes.  This woman's tax bill is no higher than my households.  It's just that me and the wifey pay most through income taxes, not property.

You are correct MNHawk, most people are indifferent to payroll taxes, but other such taxes that have to be paid seem to aggravate them...and that quote nails their complete lack of critical-thinking ability, it is no wonder they, and too many American's, are just too stupid to live...

Oh my God.  Well DUH!

So, she'll move somewhere else and rinse and repeat.

Just like they're doing in Colorado. And the sad part is she'll be clueless as to WHY this is happening. ::pullhair::

We just have to remember to do our civic duty and remind them "why"...later on...as they lay dying in a ditch or a sidewalk...
