This is out right theft and extortion. I think their plan is to tax you until you own nothing and have nothing.

@IMemeθ ☞

You got it!

@Concetta8631

That doesn’t even include capital gains taxes.
It’s insane how much of the pie the government takes with no financial skin in the game

@IMemeθ ☞

Exactly. You are bing punished for being successful.

@chatdeluge1 ☞

its all insane, they just keep grabbing more and more, with no justification, they don’t have a right to take your property, you money, your liberty if you refuse or can’t pay. when did we give them all this power over free citizens?

@MixyPisa 👉🏻

We get that here in Australia – it’s called “stamp duty” but it’s a similar percentage.

But annual property taxes are an itemised bill of services like water, drains, and garbage collection, and much smaller than is typical in the US.

New Jersey realtor says her client has to pay a $185K transfer tax on a home they’re selling for $4 million.

In simple terms, that $185K is the government’s “cut” for updating the public record to show who owns the property.

If her client were moving out of state, they would also pay what’s often called the New Jersey Exit Tax. The state withholds 2% to make sure you don’t leave without paying any taxes due on the sale.

New Jersey’s so-called “mansion tax” has also changed: the original 1% flat tax on homes over $1M has been replaced by a tiered system, paid by the seller, increasing by 0.5% for every additional $500K.

As one observer rightly noted, that money could have remained in the hands of individuals, as a salary, a raise, or startup capital, to fuel real economic growth, create jobs, and build wealth from the bottom up. Instead, it’s seized through taxation and funneled through politicians and bureaucrats, who allocate it to social programs and pet projects with little accountability. History shows these initiatives are riddled with undetected waste, fraud, and inefficiency, often delivering minimal benefits to those they’re supposed to help while expanding government control.
