Reply to comment by im_intj in CT among the states with the highest tax burden by Kingdavid100

seriously , Cant believe the mindset of some of the posts I see in the sub. Theyll defend it and downvote anyone that doesnt.....

7k a yr just from property taxes on our raised ranch built in the 60s, in the fuckin boonies with practically no town services.... must be paying for the secretaries secretary in the town hall.

Oh yeah $650 a year in taxes for my 26 year old truck with all the rust holes in it from all the overused salt that destroys our water... $480 just to register it.. Just insane.

The roads cost what they cost. It doesn't matter what kind of rust bucket you're driving. Whether you're in a 40 y/o POS or in a brand new Model S Plaid, a pothole still costs the state the same to fix.

Yep. Imo a lot of roads need to go back to dirt in some of the more rural towns. The cost to pave is absolutley insane. Lots of times its not even done correctly or bandaided and ends up costing tax payers big $$ . A lot of DPW directors bandaid shit to make themselves look good.

You think that to avoid paying $7k in taxes (on your house that has probably appreciated by 50-100k in the last 5 years), it would be justifiable to... stop paving roads???? Let me tell you, buddy, ain't no truck lasting 26 years in your unpaved conservative fantasyland.

If having some unpaved roads in my town significantly lowered my property tax, I would support it 100%.
