Completed that yearly ritual of distaste. Assigning over my hard earned money to taxing entities. That yearly ritual of paying rent on property that I thought I owned without encumbrance. There in lies the fair tale of a lifetime.
It would not be so bad if I knew my rental payment was going towards good causes. However, it is obvious that the money is not handled properly. Look at all the salaries paid to employees of the local government. One can deduct that the return on investment is poorly lacking. Comparable to the rate of return on a CD these days. Roads in disrepair, high drop out rates in the schools, lack of accountability, etc. One thing is for certain the local government entities are handing out pay raise in similar fashion to giving a pacifier to a baby to keep them quiet. No recession in Pittsburg, Texas! Our local government entities are part of the 'blaze of glory'. Robbing from the folks on the threshold and brink of disaster. And to think that our state government allows them to put us in peril. What is one to say and who do you say it to?
Enjoy that exciting ritual of forking over those hard earned dollars to a bureaucracy, and to the folks you entrusted by your vote to look after your best interest. It just might be your last opportunity!
Oh, for all you folks who believe it to be a privilege to pay property taxes there are mental institutions available to aid in corrective thinking. Your subconscious knows better!

There would never be a good time to give our incompetent Twi-lite Super a raise.
The school board just gave her a 10% increase in pay while many others of the community are losing their jobs.
The board's timing is reflective of their ability to make sound decisions for us.
Twi-lite Super's tax dollars go to another entity in another county.
Are we truly this dumb?
Our actions show that we are.
I know!! I thought we were leaving all this debt to the NEXT generation!
