[QUOTE="True Grit Farms, post: 1314395, member: 24694"] Meanwhile, here in NY, my taxes are quite high. Specifically, the schools tax is about killing all of the farms around us. The little upstate towns have run-down housing you can rent for next to nothing, so they are rented by what is locally called "welfarians" (or "woodchucks") who fill them up with kids. Because the houses are run-down, the landlords pay little property tax. Meanwhile, thanks to decades of globalization, local manufacturing is about gone. The state supports local schools less and less, so who keeps the local schools afloat? The farmers in the surrounding rural area, that's who: who pay through the nose in property taxes which go directly to the local school district. So if some farmer here needs a little help to put on a ROPS so that s/he can safely farm and try to put food on the table while paying property taxes as if he's a factory, you better believe I have zero, as in ZERO, as in Z.E.R.O. problem with that farmer getting some ROPS help. I don't want anyone else to lose their dad like my friend did at a young age. My wife pays $14k in NY property taxes a year for her farm. And she might spend 4 weeks a year there. Neither of the tractors have ROPS on them and there 50+ years old and no one been killed on either one yet. And if we think the tractors need ROPS we sure as heck won't expect the taxpayers to foot the bill. A liberal will never get it, till it's to late. [/QUOTE]
