How is it that residents of ABT houses can say that they "bought their house" when they moved in, but the house does not show up on the tax roll as their personal property? My suspicion is that ABT has not only found a way to avoid property taxes, but has found a way to pass that perk onto the residents of it's exempt property. As a tax payer, I resent the fact that my neighbor benefits from as many city services as I, but I pay for them and he doesn't.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30897652.post-59499764677074294232011-08-29T11:34:53.605-08:002011-08-29T11:34:53.605-08:00I have never understood why churches are exempt fr...I have never understood why churches are exempt from paying taxes. Seems clearly wrong to me. Think how much more money could be collected every year if all those expensive buildings and properties paid their fair share. Why, maybe we could balance the budget on that increase alone. I actually have no idea how much it would be, but think it would a huge amount, given the grandeur of so many of their building and the land holdings is very high priced real estate locations. <br /><br />I particularly think that when a church chooses to get involved in politics and telling their members how to vote, their free ride should be revolked. This Prevo guy is the creepiest of an ever growing group (starting at the top with the whole Graham family). <br /><br />It is obvious that you have some very corrupt people running the state of Alaska...including the Superior Court judge who ruled on this case. I am not pointing fingers..as this is the case everywhere..but seems to coming to light there because of spotlights put on the seemingly never ending list of lies and corruption of the Palins and those who support them.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
