I am so tired of all of these taxes that people who are rich sit around , and think up in order to impose them on the poor, because they certainly do not have to pay themselves !

i am a single parent, and head of my household, and my dream was to own a home ! well i finally was able to get one a few years ago , and every year the taxes keep getting higher, and higher, it is beginning to be problematic, just trying to be a home owner, i am

seriously thinking about selling my house, because with the high cost of Gas, and my

utility bill that is averaging three hundred a month,  it is very hard to make ends meet, and

the tax stimulus check that the president is sending out, thank God for it, but it is just a guilt donation, because they know that they have fleeced the poor people clean, between

City, State, and Uncle Sam Taxes, food taxes, we are taxed out !! now, the Mayor wants to

hike the taxes up again it is like we are being punished just, because we wanted to be home owners,between the City and the County taxes constantly going up, it is almost impossible to make it, even with a job , and a half.

the people that are renting has it better i think, at least they are not taxed for renting, i

guess i better be quiet , because they may hear me, and tax the renters too !!

we need to elect politicians that have a heart for not only the rich, but for the poor also !!

Well said Godsmiracle I post a blog the other day our post have some similarities. I truly believe that it is unfair to target the hard working citizen trying to grab just a little taste of what is call the american dream when the rich who has money in abundance do not have to struggle like the hard working citizens. They should do a payroll tax we have people coming from miss., ark., etc making good money to up keep their states instead of Memphis,Tenn.

They do tax the renters . It is called monthly rent increase. The people who own the property pass it on to the renters. It is a shame that people strive so hard to own a home of their own only to be put down by the greedy people in office. They get big money but do not think of their citizens who do not have as much as they do and to top it off they don't care as long as they get what they want. They have the power to tell you how to live but they don't live by the same rules. Maybe the new city council may have the guts to stand up for all the citizens not just the greedy rich politicians.

hello, time to put in my 2 cents worth:
u r right, God's miracle.
the taxes here, for city of memphis are insane, considering we get NOTHING for it. the roads are full of holes, the cops are mostly corrupt or just too overweight to catch any crooks anyway, the schools are a stupid mess, the MLGW are all crooks too. So what is the city couincil doing? I am waiting to see if anything happens. The mayor is a jerk but someone voted for him or else they just made up the vote numbers, which is real likely.

whatcha gone do, i wonder too!

tell-it-true
you are exactly right !we are so heavily taxed, and i can not see a thing that is actually being done in order to justify the continious raises in taxes,the only thing that can be seen is the large salaries some of the head honchoes are receiving, or giving them selves, because the City Employees are certainly not getting it, because they have not received a raisse in three years in order to prevent some of the City employees from being layed off, but the Mayor received approx.
16,000 raise last year, and that is about what some City Employees make per year !!
