[ARCHIVED THREAD] - I support an Idaho tax increase

Posted: 11/22/2018 2:13:05 PM EDT

I support an Idaho tax on anyone moving into the state who wants to become an Idaho Resident. All new residents need to have a higher sales tax. So they can start paying for all the increase in crime, problems with infrastructure, and overcrowding in schools that they cause.

Well if we are voting for shit that will never happen: The levers of power will always succumb to corruption; better to have no levers at all. Thus I propose the abolition of taxes. Let them, and us, fend for ourselves.

1) Idaho does not allow any type of individual tax that everyone else does not have to pay. This is the reason cities and school districts cannot charge a "fee" to new home owner's help with infrastructure, school, etc, costs.

2) I was told that approximately 700 people are moving to Idaho every week.

According to the U.S. Census Bureau, net population growth in 2017 was 2.2 percent in Idaho, making it the fastest-growing state in the nation.

Though growth is expected to slow somewhat in the next few years, the rate is projected to remain higher than the national average.

Taking into consideration birth rates, death rates, and in- and out-migration, the Idaho Department of Labor last year forecast that the state’s population would grow 15.3 percent from 2015 to 2025, to 1.9 million. That corresponds to annual growth of 1.4 percent – three times the national rate.

My wife is originally from Idaho Falls. We'd been casually talking about moving up there after retirement. Based on Nevada going hard blue during the midterms it's no longer a casual conversation. We'll definitely be heading your way in about six years. If I promise to always vote hard core conservative can I be exempt from any newcomer taxes?

My wife and I just visited northern Idaho over the weekend and intend to move out there. Not only will I bring my right-wing politics with me I would absolutely be willing to pay the "newcomer" tax, be subject to a written test (only administered in English) and promise not to take any welfare.

Seriously, there probably should be some sort of screening process so libtards can't escape what they have voted for and then ruin the next place.

At least in Nampa they are trying to increase the fees on developers building new homes, which would be passed on to consumers, so we can improve our infrastructure. About 2.5 years ago I moved out to where the subdivisions ended and farmland began. Now a redonk amount of that farmland is either for sale or already having more homes and the entire area is one lane roads. It's pretty crazy how many homes are being added with zero additional infrastructure.

I bought my SE Idaho property back in 1992 and finally made it back there this past summer for the first time in years. My wife wants the property sold to pay off the property we bought back here but I'm dragging my feet big time...hope to get back out there next summer for a week or so. No infrastructure needed where my property is.

I guess that would be ok for all you worker drones types.

I'll pass. Just because someone owns a house someplace does not mean they are a resident.
