Yes

 @ISIDEWITHDiscuss this answer...8mos8MO

No

 @B9X4XNP from Tennessee  disagreed…5mos5MO

If you own your property at any age, one should not have to continue paying taxes on it or anything else. Do you have to continue paying taxes on groceries, food or any other items small or large that have been paid for in full?!

 @B8MMCTG from Tennessee  answered…7mos7MO

No, but you should only have to pay property taxes if you are investing in land.

 @BDXT4FF from Tennessee  answered…2wks2W

No, but eliminate them for owners of one home

 @BDXGZTY from Tennessee  answered…2wks2W

no, but have programs for reduced cost to elderly and disabled.

 @BDK5LNV from Tennessee  answered…1mo1MO

This does not pertain to me.

 @BCPYMSH from Tennessee  answered…2mos2MO

No, but lower the percentage of the property taxes

 @BB8764X from Tennessee  answered…4mos4MO

Yes, but only on your primary residence. Property taxes should be wildly increased for non-primary residences.

 @B8XZ8HY from Tennessee  answered…6mos6MO

Only if you have paid off the loan on your property

 @B89WPC7 from Tennessee  answered…8mos8MO

We should know exactly where the taxes go and what they are used for

 @B9685KJDemocrat  from Tennessee  answered…6mos6MO

No, but limit one year drastic increases and make it more predictable to estimate from year to year. Have the option to spread out payments over 12 months.

 @B8MNMGCTaxpayers from Tennessee  answered…7mos7MO

No, but only tax property if it is bought as an investment.

 @B8B4JZJDemocrat from Tennessee  answered…8mos8MO

Tennessee currently does not have state-level property taxes

Elizabeth Warren Walks Back Murder Comments

Congressional Democrats broadly denounced the murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson Friday morning, after Republicans started accusing Sen. Elizabeth Warren of excusing violence.“No one's condoning this,” said Rep. Brad Schneider (D-Ill.). “Violence never is the right answer for anything. And it was a horrible murder, a tragic loss for his family.” Warren this week condemned the shooting, but added that people “can be pushed only so far.”"We'll say it over and over," Warren said on MSNBC’S “The ReidOut.” " Violence is never the answer. This guy [Luigi Mangione] gets a trial who's allegedly killed the CEO of UnitedHealth, but you can only push people so far, and then they start to take matters into their own hands."In a statement to POLITICO, Warren said, “Violence is never the answer. Period. I should have been much clearer that there is never a justification for murder.” Top Republicans denounced Warren's comments and the walked-back rhetoric, with House Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-La.) calling it “inappropriate and dangerous.”Some House Democrats asked about the incident on Thursday pivoted the conversation to discuss policy options on health care or gun safety.“I don't really know that this is really a space that Congress normally weighs in on,” said Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-Texas). “But at the end of the day, I think it’s an opportunity, because now people are talking about health care and to talk about the fact that this industry has honestly not been as helpful as it could be.”“Violence is never the answer,” said Rep. Troy Carter (D-La.). “We know that there are people suffering, there’s great challenges in healthcare. There's great challenges, and people have, in fact, been wronged, but a process of governance is the way to address that, not violence.”And Rep. Ted Lieu (D-Calif.) who denounced the murder, said the killer should be prosecuted and that “I do know that allegedly a ghost gun was used, and we should also ban ghost guns. There's no reason for them beyond the streets.”

Israeli Bombings Kill 2,300 In Lebanon in 3 weeks

Lebanese authorities say Israeli bombing has killed more than 2,300 people and injured almost 11,000, mostly in the past three weeks, with Israeli attacks reaching areas far beyond Hizbollah’s traditional bastions of support in the south.The Israeli military has ordered people living in more than a quarter of Lebanon to flee, according to a UN calculation, as its fight with the Iran-backed Shia militant group Hizbollah threatens to engulf the Mediterranean country.Lebanese authorities say Israeli bombing has killed more than 2,300 people and injured almost 11,000, mostly in the past three weeks, with Israeli attacks reaching areas far beyond Hizbollah’s traditional bastions of support in the south.More than 1mn people have fled their homes in Lebanon in under a month, according to its government, a dramatic forced movement of the population in a country of only about 5mn inhabitants with a land mass smaller than the US state of Connecticut. Israeli forces began a ground offensive in south Lebanon two weeks ago, in their fourth invasion of the country in under five decades. They had already destroyed large parts of the densely populated southern Beirut suburb where Hizbollah had its headquarters, and killed many top militant commanders in air strikes, including former leader Hassan Nasrallah.Rema Jamous Imseis, Middle East director of UNHCR, told journalists in Geneva that “over 25 per cent of [Lebanon is] under a direct Israeli military evacuation order”. “People are heeding these calls to evacuate and they’re fleeing with almost nothing,” she added, saying that 80 per cent of the shelters opened by the Lebanese government — mostly in schools — were now full.
