When the bottom fell out of the market, our real estate taxes didn't really go down. The assessment went down, but the government raised the tax rate to keep the tax amount pretty level. And then as assessments have crept up slowly, they have lowered the tax rate.

The only thing that surprises me here is the last five words.

Taxes are on the property, not the structure upon it.

I wish...

Oregon puts separate values on land and it's improvements (e.g.,house)
and bases the taxes on both.

In Montana you just shoot the tax collector and then buy the cops off with with meth and the mineral rights for your property.

I was completely wrong. From what I've read since, all states take into account the dwelling or "improvements."

Way too big to post, unreadable if downsized enough...

The War On Drugs

Very interesting, but, there are no given sources.

Another reason to annex Mexico. We're losing the illegal drug industry to those bastards south of the border. They took our jobs!

Absolutely. Everyone ate real food then. It was like eating an exclusively organic, grass-fed diet, for everyone, because that was the only thing that existed. Our grocery bill isn't quite 40% of our income, but it's close.
