You do realize that your landlord pays property taxes and passes the bill along to you? You may not see it in black and white, but as a renter you are paying property taxes too.

Heck, it is a big enough deal for you to complaint how big of a deal people are making it.
His career is ruined.

That's all the leftist fanatics CAN do. They can't refute what he says or argue with his ideas. Attack, denigrate, smear, and destroy him personally is the only response they have to ANY conservative. Especially a popular, well-spoken one.

I can't understand why the left are such foaming at the mouth defamers. Are they so insecure in their views that they feel the need to do that?

He gave a speech about how government helped him, his family and basically said that your family doesn't need government help.

That was it in a nutshell.

Not much to refute.

"Enemy #1?"

Hardly.
He is the butt of jokes today, will be forgotten tomorrow.

This is his fifteen minutes.

Of course I realize that. I also realize that if property taxes are cut and sales taxes are increased, I pay more with my left hand and get NOTHING in my right hand, therefore I become worse off.

Remember Prop 13? Property taxes were cut an average 57%, rents soared, angry renters got a number of local rent controls passed.

Dems can't handle anyone who tells the truth. That's why they like Liar Obama.
