Protecting our Homes from more taxation!

I realize this is only August, but I’m sending this to give you all a “heads up” with regard to what’s coming up on the ballot In November. There will be an issue about protecting our homes FROM more taxation. I urge you to vote YES to this measure. Because on most taxation issues, people vote “no,” this ballot may be defeated if we’re not careful to let others know to vote YES. A “YES” vote means you are AGAINST further taxation on your homes. The tax would only occur when you sell your home because it is a home transfer tax. However, on a $200,000 home, for example, with the combined state and local taxing authorities, the tax would be $3940. That amount would be charged against the property and would be paid at close of escrow! It’s coming out of your proceeds from selling your house, folks!

Please forward this to all your homeowner friends and relatives, so that we are not further taxed by the government. Remember vote YES!
