The 1960s remain one of the most turbulent decades in American history, though that mostly just applies to its second half. The early 1960s and the Kennedy administration were filled with hope, but the horror of the Vietnam War and frustration about American involvement ultimately proved one of the more divisive issues in the history of American politics.

Property taxes are illegal, because the property owner has to carry the expenses of the more numerous none property owners. Taxes should apply equally to all Americans.
It does. Cecelia, don’t you imagine that the property owners, by way of their financial advisors,are accounting for property taxes in the rents charged to their tenants? That would include commercial property, certainly. It simply makes sense to pass some of that on, since it’s a cost of doing business. Being a renter doesn’t indicate a lack of intelligence. I’m sure it’s also something your restrauranteur, jewelry store, furniture store, or other favorite place, consider when first deciding on pricing for goods and services.
