Outrageous blue state/city property taxes strike again:

Cook County says the Maywood boyhood home of Illinois Black Panther Party leader Fred Hampton is worth $141,920.

Its tax bill: $8,430, or an effective property tax rate of about six percent."

Republicans in Texas strongly endorse that kind of taxation and at higher levels than found in most states. It helps explain why there is no state income tax in Texas. Texas Republicans would not have it any other way.

There is no location in Texas that has a 6% annual property tax rate like homes in Illinois do.

Thanks for the article to prove my statement. The article says Texas has the 4th highest property taxes. That's just too bad how Illinois has a state income tax.

Again, there is no location in Texas that has a 6% annual property tax rate like homes in Illinois do. Ranking is not as important as the actual property tax rate people have to pay on their homes.

Yeah, well, Democrats just can't get enough of OPM (other people's money) to spend on their pet redistribution projects. Can you imagine having to pay an annual 6% property tax rate PLUS an annual income tax? That's Democrats for you. /SMH

is the 6% property tax in IL so they can fund the gangs in Chicago?

[phantompilot]

Yah, well what do you expect from Crook County?

Gotta pay the Daleys and the Machine plus don't forget the welfares and the sex changes for illegal aliens.

No, the gangs just rob you. The 6% is to fund the huge amount of public employees, their overly generous benefits, and their exorbitant pensions.

I posted my last IL tax bill a few times. It's itemized. I was charged for payments to no fewer than 8 different public employee pension funds at the local, township, and county levels.
