They don’t want the middle class to own a home anymore no wonder why there’s so many homeless people around our streets our government is out of control.
This is deliberate, folks, make no mistake. They waste so much money, and public pensions are a mess. Ridiculous, and its going to schools that don't perform. Disgusting.
@@economicdevelopmentplannin8715 I was thinking about that, maybe. You need money for that, so maybe. I would just go in for a short term and fix things really fast and quit after.
@@OperationChicago do it. You don't need much money. $800 filing fee I think. 17 people, Cook county commissioners. Only need about 10 friends like you around the county who are willing to cut the property taxes to have a majority vote. Just do it. Don't overthink it
Why does our country feel like a beggar nation when it comes to taxes? Recently, I've traveled to countries like Japan and Korea, and I noticed they have a high standard of living despite lower productivity and paying far less in taxes compared to us. All these corrupt American politicians need to be replaced, especially in Illinois.
Japan and South Korea don't have great standards of living when you account for work-life balance. The US is bad enough as far as that goes, but those two countries are notorious for their negative work cultures. And if you went there and noticed that your money was going further, it could be because the US dollar has been growing stronger vs their currencies (helps having a president that doesn't try to influence the Federal Reserve).
@@NubyPlaysGaming The strong dollar has been beneficial in some ways, but that's just a small part of the issue. South Korea's GDP is about 1/16th of the United States', yet their healthcare, education, public safety, and cost of living are far superior. I happened to get a comprehensive medical checkup in Korea, and without insurance, I paid around $1,000 for tests that would have cost over $15,000 in the US. In the US, it would have taken over two months and visits to multiple locations to get all these tests done separately, but in Korea, I completed everything in just four hours at one place. Even though the US has eight times the population of South Korea, it has more than twice the amount of money. So where is all that money going? With nearly a $30 trillion GDP, the US needs to seriously reconsider its living standards, infrastructure, education, and public safety. Moreover, 97% of students in Korea go on to higher education. It has to starts with citizens like you and me.
All the corruptions, kickbacks, and corporate lobbying means our federal, state, and local governments had been sold to the highest bidders. Our city can’t even give us a straight answer in how all those illegal immigrant money were spent. Oh well…
America spends trillions on military defense including for allies, plus we give billions to other nations including Israel and Ukraine. That is coming directly out of our tax dollars
Not enough. They served and worked their jobs until retirement. They deserve it. Your generations want free money for not having done a God-damned thing in your short life. Where did you think the money to pay for all of the free stuff you want to give away, comes from ??? Pay your taxes. Or ask your Democratic politicians to pay more of their share, since the get a lot of free things, but their pay only ever increases.

@@DavidCYT99 , that is not all those property taxes go to. Research it. Schools get it. Politicians get it. Administrations get it. So, they voted for it. Let them enjoy !!!

When property taxes go up and you’re a renter it effects you as well. The increase in expenses just gets passed onto tenants in the form of higher rents. Illinois needs to pass a statewide measure capping property taxes to 1% of assessed value like California does. To offset the loss in tax revenue the state should implement a progressive state income tax instead of a flat rate. The more you earn the more you pay. Also Illinois needs to control the spending especially towards the unfunded public pension liability. It’s mismanagement and corruption.
@@DavidCYT99 , so the people that served and worked in your local area for 20+ yrs should not get paid for their time "served"/worked ???

@@DavidCYT99 , do you not make enough to retire with your 401k's ??? Because Police and Teachers paid into THEIR 401k's while they were working...paid property taxes so that others that came before them could get THEIR pensions.

That should be entirely "fair", shouldn't it ???

You can’t support all of the illegals financially and not make everyone else kick in for it.

Property taxes are one of the few things in your control.

80%
Only thing that I can do is sell my home that I have lived in 48yrs. And move out of ILLINOIS I'm 75 I will end up flat broke at this rate 😢.
Go to the local township and apply for the tax freeze. You are entitled to it if you are a senior! Don’t lose your home.
