The rate of Property Tax is over the 35% of your mortgage rate. It is an average of 75% in addition to my mortgage. Its like paying for a second home that I don't have. How can the Assesors office say one thing and the Board of Electors say something totally different when assessing my property. Something needs to be done before we have more Foreclosures. No one wants to talk about the other factor that creates the many foreclosures here in Chicago and its Suburbs....one of the other factors is the HIGH PROPERTY TAXES.

The Right to Work Laws in Arkansas need to be repealed. They are keeping the state at the bottom of the financial chain in this country. Example: My Daughter worked at Sonic Drive In Restaurant, she got paid $3.50 per hour, and any tips she got were counted towards her minimum wage. She is the only bread winner in her household, he is temporarily disabled, and the tips on top of minimum wage would help considerably. This might work in a high end establishment, but most workers don't work in such an establishment. All this does is keep the employer from having to pay minimum wage. It also gives the employer the right to fire someone without just cause. The employee can be released for ANY reason, IE; if the employer had a bad day they could fire someone on the spot for nothing that has to do with work. It's just wrong , and needs to be changed.

Sales taxes going up in Louisiana as proposed

It has been proposed that an extra mileage tax be assessed on newer more fuel efficient cars, to offset the declining revenues from gas taxes. That would be a sadly counterproductive measure, in terms of the bigger more important picture of protecting and cleaning up our environment. People who reduce their gas consumption, either through fewer miles driven, or more fuel efficient vehicles, should be rewarded for their contribution, not penalized.

Instead of giving takes breaks which effects everyone differently, we should be giving a yearly pay out to each legal North Dakota Citizen of the same amount.

Our deficit is out of control, making the average taxpayer nervous, and feeling vaguely ripped off when images of people "working' the system, and continuing to make irresponsible choices on the governmental dime are shown in the media, or right in their faces. I propose this: Make the receipt of cash and food stamp benefits dependent on the completion of basic parenting and sex education programs.

Deceptive property and business taxation has been a traditional burden against business development and job creation for years. Homeowner taxation is grossly manipulated and especially unfair for seniors living in their homes until death. Homeowners and business can no longer support every blank-check community need for eternity. Other more logical sources must be creatively determined.

I want to address why do we have it that georgia is a right to work state.I feel here in the south that law need to be done away with.it only hurt the working people and not the rich that done need to work.

On behalf of the UNREPRESENTED Non-Judicial foreclosure victims of fraud in non-judicial states (There are 27 of them, which is the majority of the nation by no small coincidence), I present the following petition: Foreclosure should not be able to be initiated, facilitated, perpetuated or adjudicated by any entity who PROFITS from it. PERIOD! Yet Northwest Trustee and sister company Routh Crabtree are running a foreclosure mill that will further harm Washington's economy if they are not stopped!

On October 31, 2012, VIM Pharmacy, a beloved neighborhood fixture in Washington Heights, closed its doors after 37 years due to an exorbitant rent increase. City-wide, many local businesses are being forced out by inflated rents and replaced with big chain stores. This undermines community well-being and quality of life, the viability of the neighborhood and hurts the local economy.

Yes, I am affected, we need a raise. We work hard for our students and have not had a raise in 5 years. Please help us.
