🧵@GovRonDeSantis just called a special session to abolish property taxes on Florida homes
If you must pay the state every year just to stay in the house you own outright…
You don’t own it. You rent it.
Florida is beginning the end of feudalism in America. 🧵
2/ An 91-year-old widow paid off her house 40 years ago.
All across America, one missed property tax payment and the state can take her home and put her on the street.
Her home — the one she owns free and clear — can be taken because she “owes rent” to the government.
That’s not ownership. That’s serfdom. It’s immoral.
@GovRonDeSantis 3/ Critics scream "lost revenue". They lie.
Pay a visible, one-time sales tax at the closing table — then you own it.
No annual "rent". No reassessment because you improved your property.
When you pass the home to your children, it’s love and legacy — not a taxable event.
@GovRonDeSantis 4/ Fund government the honest way.
Broad sales taxes everyone sees at the register.
You choose when to pay by choosing when and what to buy.
No more compelled annual confession of your finances. No more threat hanging over the home you thought you owned.
5/ A perpetual valuation and seizure threat on your home invades what the Founders meant to protect.
Scripture agrees. Jubilee restored land to families. Inheritance is a blessing, not a tax opportunity. The warning against rulers who “take” fields still stands.
Why should we be taking homes from 91-year-old widows? We certainly don't have to.
6/ This isn’t just Florida.
Texas is moving toward zero property tax on homes. Ohio citizens are organizing for abolition as early as November. Indiana is rethinking the lien that never gets released.
This is a restoration — finishing the American Revolution at the local level by returning true ownership to families.
Florida is leading the way.
7/ Do you really own your home… or do you just rent it from the government?
Your home should be yours — not an indulgence from the state.
I have a detailed article on my site. Link in bio.
