We are respectful: Destroy Ohio in its law – its own law.
In 1997, the court Ohio was referred to the court that this method destroyed disagreements between districts and violated the Constitution of Ohio’s Constitution of Ohio to provide a “good system of common schools.” That’s about three decades ago.
And yet, we’re here and nothing changed!
The burden still falls on homeowners, and the legislature continues to ignore the rule. The result? A broken system – and a betrayal of the Konstitution of Ohio and the residents who pay the price.
This is the elephant in the room. Nearly two-thirds of your property tax property go to schools. So if local governments ask for rough lions to continue roads, police services, or fire fires, they are often met with failure – and understand it. Homeowners are preferred, forced to subsidize state failure to fund public education fairly. They don’t just pay taxes – they hide for a legislature that refuses to obey the law.
And here is the worst part: If lawmakers speak “Baic Aic Aix Relicion, they speak about the rising fees – but not the cause of the cause. They do not recognize that a largest tax driver in school taxes is the school fund. That’s what you can’t afford the Ohioans. However instead of fixing it, the state continues to move the extra responsibility to local property owners while pretending to offer solutions. It’s a bait-and-switch – and people finally get covered.
Meanwhile, the state continues to tax tax. On paper, seems to be relief. In practice, no matter what. Each cut of Ohio’s reduction can use the correct fund schools – which is exactly what the court demands. Disability does not disappear; It’s passed to you. That means more school levies, more millage, and many tax hits, even if your income changes.
These are not votes selected. They ultimatums: “Forward this levy or see your schools suffer.” It is a rigged game, and the working families, older people, and those who have accused of us pay.
To make things worse, if the state allocates more funds in schools, it is often marked for narrow programs – not operating costs. Those districts of forces return to the ballot box, tied their overall funds to values of assets. So if your house is again again – even if you don’t sell it, improve it, or move – your spike tax. It is not unreasonable. It cannot be blocked.
And here is a basic fact that the state refuses to recognize: money is money – and tax can only be paid for income. Property, itself, do not pay taxes. It doesn’t make money unless you sell it or hire it. For most homeowners, especially retirees or family members, their home is their asset, not their income. They are expected to pay taxes in unreal, paper-based “a recipe for compulsory sales, transfer and long financial injury.
We will be honest: Ohio homeowner permanent rental rental. You never own your house if you can lose it for failure to pay the regularly growing tax tied to theoretical value of the market. It is punished for strength and target those least able to keep – retirees, households with earnings and anyone living in a fixed budget.
We are told to change it. The Court Ohio Supreme Court said it should change. But the legislature does not listen. In fact, they make it worse – deliberate income tax cut to benefit their donor campaigns and election campaigns, while learning schools they need. Then they washed their hands with it and left local communities to clean the mess.
This is more than a Tax Fairness question. It is a question of law – and if our lawmakers believe they are bound.
Ohio makes a promise to its people. Its highest court strengthens that promise. Now it’s time to be held accountable.
No longer excuses. No longer delayed. It’s time to get the education fund from the backs of homeowners once and for all – by actual reform, the constitutional change is necessary.
Because this fight is not just about tax. It is about freedom, freedom and justice. The homeowner is the foundation of freedom and liberty, and allows the transfer of wealth from one generation to another. If there is no property ownership, we are government-controlled serfors.
So we need to take the next step: Eliminate property taxes completely. The state fails to fix the broken system for almost 30 years – now it’s up to us. Get Details of Petition Sign www.axtohtax.com. Be part of the solution. We conclude this burden not constitution once and for all and restore true possession of people in Ohio.
