Home Tax Guide

Recently, I have had the privilege of speaking with Ann Minch from California who has put together a website known as www.debtorsrevoltnow.com and is making some serious noise with her efforts!  How serious?  Here is Ann’s story and it is one I think you will enjoy hearing!

Recently, Ann’s interest rate on her Bank of America card was raised from 13% up to 30%!  This is the same Bank of America that received huge amounts of tax payer money for a bailout.  Ann tried to reach customer service at Bank of America and explain how she had never been late in her payments, had paid more than the minimum and had this account for many years in good standing.

It was all to no avail as she tried to reach them on numerous occasions to get her rate back to where she felt it should be, 13%.

Enter social media by the name of youtube and Ann really hit a home run as well as a nerve among many others who have felt they have been taken advantage of by the credit card companies.  When Ann could not get any satisfaction with the customer “no” service, she posted her dilemma on youtube and, within a short period of time, it went viral!  How viral did it go?  Try 476,000 hits as of this writing!  Lo and behold, Ann finally got someone from Bank of America to speak with her and reduce her rate back to where it was.

Ann was not finished yet as this action inspired her to set up her site at www.debtorsrevoltnow.com which is an effort to encourage others to boycott the big banks and additional Wall Street firms that have been in bed with the government and has led to many challenges for the American public.  One of which is the sub-prime issue that was directly caused by government forcing banks to loan money to unqualified people (reports of this allegedly going to illegal aliens as well) that allowed the housing industry to go into a free fall along with property values.

One of the reasons for Ann’s work is to work together to reduce taxes and “starve” our tax and spend bureaucrats of the money they are literally throwing away with many of their programs.  Government only consumes and truly produces very little.  We need to take back our nation and stop the intergenerational theft that is taking place!

The push for lower taxes continues to resound throughout our nation as the tea parties gain more and more steam with an issue that is not going away!

We all know how much our federal government is wasting tax payer money and people are waking up to the waste and fraud within the states and local munipalities as well.  As this movement increases in size and volume, the smart politicians that want to get re-elected will have to get in line with the wishes of the people!

Many of the highest taxed states are hearing from homeowners who are tired of out of control property taxes as they continue to go up.  The heat is on against taxation in all forms.  Government will continue to find itself being held more and more accountable, whether they want to be or not.

On Saturday, September 12th, it was estimated that anywhere from 1.5 million to 3 million people descended on our nation’s capital to protest higher taxes and bigger government.  This movement continues to get stronger daily as more and more people are awakening to the reality of our hard earned money going to a growing government which does not seem to have the will to curb spending.

As someone who attended this event, there was one sign that really stood out in my mind among many creative ones.  It was, “we are not your ATM!”  Obviously, this was a reference to an out of control government and the spending going on throughout our nation.

The federal government is not the only one that is out of control.  Pennsylvania was without a budget for almost 80 days and, at this posting, appears on the verge of finally getting this settled.  Many other states were running late this year as well.

Locally, many municipalities have not brought property taxes down to reflect the drop in value due to the sub-prime issue.  What this means is, if your property was worth $200,000 and it dropped to $175,000, you should see a reduction in your property taxes.  Don’t hold your breath waiting for your assessor to issue you an abatement (refund).  You must be pro active and take charge of this yourself and you can now do this with the Home Tax Guide (www.hometaxguide.com).  For a very small investment of only $48.00, you could put yourself and your family on the path to save hundreds and, in some cases thousands of dollars over the next several years by addressing this challenge which is costing property owners throughout the country much more than it should.

Don’t be a spectator thinking there is nothing you can do.  The Home Tax Guide can be one more tool in your tax saving arsenal!

One additional tip: Think seriously about starting your own home based business.  There are many opportunities out there and coaches that can help get you quickly off the ground!

Many taxpayers will be peacefully protesting against big government on Saturday, September 12th in Washington, DC.  There are supposed to be tens of thousands of people attending this and it will be a very interesting day for all of those attending.

Part of being involved with a strong Republic is participating in the process and letting our views becoming known.  As one example of government “estimates” being way off is the Medicare program.  In 1965, the government estimated that, by 1990, the costs for Medicare would be $9 Billion dollars.  In reality, it was $67 Billion dollars!  This has occurred time and time again with government “estimates” being way off what they have projected.

Do not let the sub-prime issue that has eroded your home values by 15-25% depending on where you live.  You should legally be able to get these reduced, if, you learn how to speak the tax assessor’s language.  If you are waiting for them to roll your taxes back without your pro active efforts to encourage this, you will be waiting a long time!  It will not happen and you will have a higher property tax bill than you should and be paying more than your fair share.

Get involved in government at various levels and learn about how you can protect yourself from excessive taxation!

The Tea Party movement continues to gain momentum in our nation.  On September 12th, in Washington, DC, tens of thousands of people will be descending on our nation’s capital with peaceful protests against an ever expanding government.

The Tea Party Express is currently making its way across our nation and will end up in Washington in time for 9/12 as well.

The goal of the 9/12 project is to remind people of how united this country was right away on 9/11/01 with the terrorist attacks that killed 3000 Americans.

Locally, you can counter high property taxes in high tax states by going through and using the Home Tax Guide (www.hometaxguide.com).  These local taxes are just as much of a burden and sometimes more than some of your federal taxes.  Pay attention to all forms of taxation, educate yourself and pay only your fair share.  Do not pay more out of ignorance!  The tools of education are here and they are excellent resources that can save you hundreds and maybe thousands of dollars for a reasonably small use of your time.

There is a movement that is gaining more and more momentum in our country and it is tied in with the Tea Parties.  If you go to www.teapartyexpress.org you can see the cities this will be going through.

People are standing up regarding our out of control government and all the spending and taxation.

Included in this are high property taxes that need to be reigned in as well.  All of us, except for government, it seems, has to have a budget to live by.  Since neither we nor the states can print money, a budget is something we all have to at least try to abide by.

Check out the Tea Party Express locations and get involved.  We need to work together on this to remind the politicians that they work for us!  This is something many of them have seemed to have forgotten or never learned in the first place!

This article is one that will let you know how much people are focusing more and more on how high their taxes are in a variety of areas.  When you add up federal, state, local, sales and property taxes, many people are paying over 50% and, in some cases, 60%.

Remember, it is the private sector that creates value, not the government.  We do need government for a variety of things such as national, state and local security with our armed forces, National Guard, police departments, etc.

With the high tax states continually looking for ways to take in more money, informed tax payers need to use all kinds of specialized knowledge and information to legally reduce their tax obligations.   One of the best ways is to learn the language of the assessors and work with them to reduce this.

Once a government program comes through, it never goes away.  This is why it is so important to be pro active in the tax process so you can legally stay ahead of the bureaucrats who want to take more of your hard earned money.

The Home Tax Guide will show you how to take more control over your high property taxes.  If you live in a high tax state that has seen property values fall, this program is definitely for you.

I just read an article written by Dave Carpenter of the Associated Press dating back to July 5th of this year.  In this column, Dave discusses how retirees are searching for states where taxes are the lowest due to living on a fixed income.

Regarding property taxes, Carpenter says, “The search for low rates is compounded by the fact they vary greatly by not only state but municipality, so it’s necessary to check rates by locality.”

He suggests calling the tax assessors in areas that you are thinking of moving to as you narrow your search.  Additionally, “some states and towns discount property taxes for seniors, largely to retain those who already live there.”

If you find yourself in an area whose taxes are way out of line with the drop in property values, it would absolutely pay you to see if the Home Tax Guide (www.hometaxguide.com) makes sense for you.  It is an absolute bargain at $47.00, contains a thorough 100 page PDF, seven easy to understand audios and designed by a true master in this field.  Our expert has successfully been involved with over 3000 property tax abatements and has had a success rate of over 95%!!!

As you review the Home Tax Guide, you will see why he has done so well and you, too, will learn to speak the assessor’s language.  It may be the best investment you can make in 2009!

At this point, it is unclear which direction the debate on national health care is going.  One thing is certain; if it passes, most pundits say taxes will be going up to cover it.  There is an area that you can gain more control over your property taxes with the assistance of the Home Tax Guide.  If you are in a high property tax state such as California, New York, New Jersey and many others, this can absolutely assist your efforts to control a very important local expenditure, your property taxes.

By learning the proper language of the assessors, you greatly enhance your odds of a property tax abatement (reduction).   The site is www.hometaxguide.com and, just by viewing it, you will know right away that the very small investment is well worth going with this excellent, in depth program.

According to the Union Leader newspaper in New Hampshire, tax assessors are preparing for an influx of requests for tax abatements (a tax refund) in their state.  Many of the assessors are hearing more and more people discussing this and, with the sub-prime issue bringing down their property values, people are rightfully expecting a decline or some relief in their property taxes.  This is a growing trend throughout the US, especially in high tax states such as Florida and California with New York, New Jersey, Illinois and others not far behind.

With a shrinking tax base due to the economic downturn, fewer people (some politicians might call them the rich!) are carrying more and more of the burden.  There is a very reasonable solution that contains incredibly high value for property tax relief.  It is the Home Tax Guide (www.hometaxguide.com) that was put together by a man who has over twenty years experience successfully getting tax abatements (lower property taxes) for several thousand of his clients.  It is something every tax payer who is serious about property tax relief should check out as it is the real deal!
