El Paso county property tax

All of this is well and good, but it assumes that .gov is operating for the common good and without a mind to rape and pillage in a legislated manner.

When one looks at the taxes of the so-called "Dark" ages, in the days of that evil word known as "monarchy", we are paying exorbitant amounts of taxes in comparison.

I was talking with an Iraqi once about America. I brought up property taxes. They were astounded. Under Saddam, a house equivalent to something like many of us live in was taxed at about the equivalent of $20 US.

I have ZERO misconceptions about how we're taxed. I know we're being rapped and have been for a long time. But apparently half the population is ok with that. Insane.
