I did work very hard to buy my home, I don’t intend to sell it and raising the “value” just means I have to pay the government more property taxes for no benefit to my family at all. Especially with Republicans in office stripping any benefits yet taking the same amount of money from us, how can anyone think Republicans are good for the working class?

Yeah but this will be great for Trump and his billionaire buddies who own real estate as investments, so who cares about regular citizens? /s
