Looking at “Ending Unfair Property Tax” historically we find that these very same taxes along with others were what sparked the Revolutionary War back in 1775.

We celebrate this great fight for liberty each year on July 4th but I wonder should people, who are adamantly against Ending Unfair Property Tax, celebrate this great patriotic holiday when their beliefs align with the Tories, who wanted to remain under English law and taxes. They even fought against the patriots who fought to end these taxes and slavery they suffered under English rule.

We are pretty much in the same boat today as the founders were in 1775. Tyrannical governments, career politicians, corrupt bureaucracies, and the list goes on. It was the same then – 1/3 were Patriots, 1/3 were Tories and 1/3 didn’t care, I think our numbers are better, but the same groups are still present. Where do you fit in? Are you a Tory who wants to keep people enslaved by property tax, or maybe you don’t care, but hopefully you’re a Patriot who is sick and tired of seeing good people losing their property, seeing their taxes increase every year and seeing the total unfairness of the levying of the tax and just wants to end the whole works so we can enjoy the fact we own our property and don’t have to pay protection money (like the Mob requires) to keep it.

Our forefathers stood on the green in Lexington and the bridge at Concord to keep the British from stealing their property and fired the shot heard around the world.

We at least can sign the petition to get this on the 2024 ballot and then stand up and vote to eliminate this totally unneeded and unfair tax!
