Not hardly, but she makes it here she owes us for the privilege.

She makes her money world wide. She only chose to buy a second home in your state and is paying regular taxes on it. WTF makes you so special she should pay more?

Welcome to a pay to play game. She will survive.

Well that makes sense, if you're an idiot.

What part of we aren't paying our bills do you not get? You think money grows on trees?

I get the part it isn't Taylor Swift's fucking problem your government has spent more than it takes in. Money is kind of like tree's. Taylor worked her ass off and has a few tree's, let's call them apple tree's for instance. You and the government haven't planted any tree's so you think you should just run over and take her apple harvest. Yet you aren't even considering maybe you should leave her alone and not promise the people with no tree's more fucking cider than you can produce.

We paid for what allowed her to get rich here. There is no free lunch my little morons.

Well if she doesn't like the taxes then she should sell her house and move to a lower tax, lower wage, more poverty stricken southern state somewhere. Otherwise, pay up. It is that simple.

 

[initforme]

Should we really be concerned about someone is is really wealthy? I think not. She'll somehow survive. LOL

Rhode Island property tax targets Taylor Swift–but hits less wealthy residents too

NEW PROPERTY TAXES?!: A new property tax proposed by RI Gov. Gina Raimondo (D) will affect people who own second homes above a certain income level. This will affect Taylor Swift–and Rhode Island residents as well.

By Justin Katz | Watchdog Arena

The headline for a new statewide property tax proposed by Rhode Island’s Democratic Gov. Gina Raimondo is that pop star Taylor Swift will be among the hardest hit.

A few years ago, Swift purchased a $17 million mansion on the Ocean State’s coast, which means the governor is looking to cull around $43,000 from the starlet’s fortune.

In its first year, the tax is projected to collect $11.8 million from the accounts of the 2,359 households who own second properties worth over $1 million. As Raimondo put it during her recent budget address, the tax “asks those among us who are most able, to pay a little more.” As if to emphasize the point, the tax is not technically imposed as a tax on property, but on the privilege of owning it, which makes the tax even more radical than it appears on its face.

To begin with, the premise may or may not be accurate. An early controversy for the tax has centered around whether it would apply to small apartment buildings whose owners live elsewhere. The governor has stated that such was not her intent, and it is likely that a final version of the legislation, if it passes, will be clearer.

Whether or not the “Taylor Swift Tax” turns out to include a “Mr. Roper Tax,” it will certainly snag some families who’ve inherited summer homes that they are already struggling to maintain. Ownership of expensive property isn’t necessarily an indication of high income or large cash reserves. The “privilege” of owning it could have come with generations of saving, mixed with the increasing value of coastal real estate, rather than from hit songs about teenage infatuation.

What exactly did you pay for that she now owes you? Did you write some songs for her or record an album or something? What are you directly responsible for providing her that made her career and she couldn't have lived without?

We provided everything she needed to make it here, right down to the hospital she was born in and the roads that got mommy there. If you don't like the deal, move to an island of one.

People who own two houses have to pay for them

God forbid....what will the one percent do?

Hating the wealthy and stealing their money is in fashion. Tune in tomorrow when the left decides to steal money from handicapped people...oh wait Obamacare does that already.

The whole concept of property ownership is outdated.

NOBODY owns their home.

If you "own" a home it only means you are renting it from the city, state, county, borough and whatever else "taxing" districts apply. You only get to use the property so long as you pay the rent.

Stop paying and you'll see how quickly the illusion of ownership vanishes.

Right, they are houses, but we can call them trees. Almost everybody has their own tree, and has to pay taxes on that tree....... but she has a second tree worth over $1,000,000.00 that she has to pay additional taxes on, and there are two thousand three hundred and fifty eight other people who have a second tree and those trees are also worth over $1,000,000.00 each and those people have to pay additional taxes on them too. Taylor Swift is only one of thousands who will have to pay the extra taxes, so why is she so important in this anyway? How much cider can you squeeze out of a MILLION dollar tree?

Rhode Island is notorious for hilarious unintended consequences.

In the 1970's a contractor bought a big piece of land that had been a farm - no nearby neighbors. He built a big house with a turntable in the basement for his airplane and put in a 3,000 foot grass runway - golf-course quality.

A couple of years later he came under attack by an individual who had bought an adjacent property. He was forced to stop using the airstrip.

No problem. He subdivided the whole thing under Rhode Island's "anti-snob zoning" laws. Tiny lots. Built 3 and 4 bedroom houses of minimum size on smallest allowable lots. Sold cheap, discounting according to number of children in each household. More kids? More discount! He lost money on some; made money on others and walked away with enough to recover his original cost and buy a former farm one state away. The town found itself building two new schools, expanding the state-mandated sewage treatment plant and dealing with water supply issues.

From this the state learned, right?

Maybe not.

More current: A relative by marriage of a family member of mine recently inherited a coastal property in a part of Rhode Island that is still largely farmland. The deceased former owners had built what amounted to a two-car garage type structure on an oceanside plot and turned it into a small cottage into which they moved for retirement, selling off their old farmhouse and just one acre with it. They kept the remaining acreage. Lots of acreage that they rented out to an active farmer. Important: They did NOT subdivide the property further, just put the cottage on a small portion of it. It's assessed as a unit. Tax valuation approaching $2,000,000. The farmer who had been renting retired last fall. The inheritors can barely cover the taxes as they stand. Since it's not practical for them to move into the cottage until they retire then it's a "second home".

This is not a part of Rhode Island that is of any appeal to the super-rich. The likely disposition will be a first step of dividing the property to keep the cottage with about one acre of land and right-of-way from the closest road. Second step, sell off the rest of the parcel to a developer who is salivating to build an upscale subdivision but not so upscale that the new residents will be sending their kids to private schools.

Because none of the new properties will come anywhere close to triggering the new proposed tax the state will gain not one penny. The town will gain some tax revenue but will also have to build and staff at least one new school.

if you don't want to pay for it...Well, stop using the police, fire, weather service and please stop driving on our roads.

Really getting sick of you amish people.

Go fuck yourself. They don't use any more police, fire or weather service than any welfare queen sucking down Mad Dog 20/20 in some trailer park.

With taxes you get civilization, not that such a thing matters to you.

And it's all up to Taylor Swift to pay for that civilization for having the gall to purchase a second home.

Not hardly, but she makes it here she owes us for the privilege.

"Pay to Play" must be a euphemism for "loot those who have the most to loot." Watch property values in RI drop like a stone as rich people wise up and buy property somewhere else.
