OK i think we are about to learn from Mike Fisher the proper way to stop any governmnet from enforcing unjust laws.

after watching gandhi I bet we could do all kinds of things in the Gandhi way which would stand between the State and property owners.? maybe walking into the tax office and lying down on the floor refusing to leave?? what other kinds of gandhi style passive resistance would be appropriate against a government coming for someone's property?? ?

Instead of passive resistance I prefer very active non-violent non-cooperation. 8)

Because the only reason it's apreciating is because of Inflation -- and because even if it isn't, that apreciation is yours -- not the states -- because it's your own property.

what is inflation running at these days? 1-2%

what are houses appreciating at these days in NH? 2-4%

AAAANt, try again. The Government dumbed down CPI figures for inflation are around 3%. Many free market organizations put it at 5-7% or even higher.  Dana or somebody just posted an article about it -- if not, here, then at the FSP board.

and housing in the Nashua-Manchester area are appreciating at a 10% rate.

Hankster do you want to join the property tax revolt? 8)
We are seriously thinking about not paying all or part of our bill this year.

good luck with that...

I was just showing people that there is no reason to have to pay taxes out of your own pocket.

just use your appreciating home values.

Tighten spending? This is the Property Tax Revolt thread not the responsible school budget thread. 8)

there has got to be something that can be done to stop or deter the government authority in question from actually taking the house, something Gandhi would do (assuming he wanted to fight property taxes).  But i'm coming up pretty blank.

It may take years for us to come up with the civil disobedience idea that will enable us to fight property taxes.

 Been thinking that this situation might require an indirect approach. Point out how public schools, for instance, force people to pay for the education(?) of other people's kids, depriving poor folk in particular, sometimes driving them out of their homes.

As if that hasn't been tried before.

Hey Greenbacks, when are you going to answer my question on the FSP forum? I'm waiting. 8)

The public school problem seems to have 2 main problems:
forced attendance
forced funding
I can't really see a better way to fight  the funding side than by total refusal. They are stealing our money and we are just giving in.

Aha, I found that last year, the schools were 58% of Keene's budget.
