Property Taxes Are An Outrage
Property Taxes Are An Outrage
By Elton Camp
At such time, if any, I should become king,
Property tax to an immediate end I’ll bring
Although most taxes I don’t mind to pay
To get revenue, there has to be a better way
To tax our property can it possibly be fair
With so many tax deadbeats being out there
Because I worked hard for a house and lot,
Should I continue to pay for what I’ve got
But if I had lazily sat around on my behind
Then a place in public housing I would find
It would seem right in bleeding hearts eyes
To take tax from others my rent to subsidize
But because I did things the old-fashioned way,
Now they expect for what I earned, tax to pay
Alabama has the lowest property tax now, I know
But if I had the control, it would become zero
