Not really reflective of total taxes. Our property tax rank is pretty high but since we don't have any state income tax our overall taxes are much lower than other states.

The map isn't about total taxes. It's about property taxes. Please stay on topic.

A comment about property taxes in a thread about property taxes is on-topic.

Your comment was about how the maps were not indicative of total taxes. The topic is not about the totality of taxation in a particular state. It is about property taxes. Please try to stay on topic.

Yes. Let's summarize. Please try your best to follow along. The sting of following the logic will fade BUT not too soon I hope since it's you and all.

My comment was about the maps. Since the maps are referenced in the thread title then the topic is the maps. Since my comment was about the maps which are pictured nicely in the original post and referenced in the title of the thread then my comment referenced the content of the topic.

You have fallen into the libtrap of believing that you are the one special chosen one to determine which comments referencing the maps on the original post and referencing the taxes in the title of the thread actually are on or off topic, and as such, the exercise of your delusion is actually what is off-topic in the thread, not a comment on the content of the thread itself.

You may now continue.

I am sure that this seems and feels very important under the umbrella of misconception that what you think matters

What does that have to do with property taxes?

[Trumplestiltskin 5,791]

Property? What does this have to do with tax?

Guess you need to carefully study the maps. Hey - MAYBE you can try starting at post #1?

This has what to do with property taxes?
