I wish you would have waited on this one todd. As a conservative, I still would have been supporting Obama on this one. Not paying ones property taxes is not crooked. It just means you will end up paying a lot of penalties or will end up losing the property. I have property I am behind on. I just need the money more for something else right now. I know I will end up paying a huge penalty, but it is worth it to me. Does that make me a crook? I hope not. I know of many investors who do the same thing. In the end, the government makes a whole lot more from us than they otherwise would, so I guess in someways that just makes us stupid. Now if McCain was filing for a senior discount or was lying about improvements, that would make him a crook. So, are all the improvements to your home permitted and recorded to the county? I bet you there are plenty of people around here who have upgraded their homes or added a garage and failed to tell the county.
