Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia has called for the abolition of property taxes, arguing that they force citizens to pay ‘rent’ to the government on their own property, which she claims should never happen in a free country. In a recent post on X, Greene argued that property taxes force citizens to pay for government-controlled assets, with the threat of losing their property if they fail to meet the financial demands. She also criticized the U.S. healthcare system, calling health insurance a ‘giant scam’ that has become unaffordable and unacceptable.
Greene, who identifies as ‘America Only,’ has previously expressed frustration with Democratic lawmakers in Washington and criticized the U.S. foreign aid policies, calling them a form of ‘America LAST insanity.’ She has also called for the end of all foreign aid, which she views as a form of ‘America LAST insanity.’ In a recent post, she stated that Congress has been stuck on a ‘hamster wheel’ of America LAST policies and urged lawmakers to step away from these measures.
The congresswoman’s recent post on X has sparked debate about the potential economic and public health impacts of her proposals. Critics argue that property taxes are a crucial source of revenue for local governments and that abolishing them could lead to reduced funding for essential services. Similarly, her criticism of the healthcare system has drawn mixed reactions, with some supporters praising her for highlighting the affordability crisis, while others question the feasibility of eliminating the insurance system.
Greene’s stance on property taxes aligns with broader conservative and libertarian ideologies that emphasize limited government intervention and individual freedom. Her call to abolish property taxes also resonates with similar discussions in other states, including Florida, where Governor Ron DeSantis has previously endorsed the idea of property tax reform.
