#TBT

 

 It was a Nightmare in my real life 

The Town tried to sell our old run down Farm

For pennies .

I saw Myself as that little Girl again,

Deja Vu of another time 

History repeating itself,

I thought I was all over that

Vulnerability 

Government Confiscation History

Too late for Me.

Departing Thoughts #Adios802

Revenue Blues Review... a broken record 😎

The Vermont Legislators that stayed late so they can seize the 💰
Then they passed a bill to force Governor’s Hand
Waiting for the countermoves
Thinking about revenue
Er
Taxes 😿


Prompting me to search for some old Tax poetry 🤔

Taxes...and a Couch

November,

Cruel November,

Stripped the leaves 🍁 

Right off the Trees 🌳 

November.

Tax Day, too,

In the Monkton Town Zoo 🦓🐆🦏🐪🐘🦍🐫🐄🐿🦃🐈🐩🕊🐇🐉🐲🐊🦑🐢🦎🐡🦖🐙

We’re beasts of burden for sure,

How much more can we endure?

This year we bought a couch,

Or sofa 🛋 if you prefer,

A Marvelous comfy place to hang,

Long overdue for sure.

We tested, and promptly paid,

A delivery date made,

Tax day it would be,

For our Couch delivery.

Property tax bill paid,

Painful checks made,

Why is so much due in the fall,

Town and Schools, benefits and all?

As I prepare to relax

On our Couch 🛋, coming at Last,

Popped the clothes in the dryer,

(Good thing I’m not a crier)

The dryer went kaput,

That’s how it goes,

Our Taxing Couch Woes...

Rerun: Travelogue for the Universe: Comments

Note: when the leaves start turning, you better know how you're paying your property taxes in Vermont. The town can sell your property being as little as 6 months late. Or not.
As Vermont embarked on creating equal education for each child, 
they made it all very complicated.
Yet the idea of an ethics panel failed to gain popularity.
My advice to people owning property where tax sales are a
Bully auction,
Change the law.
