AARP BLASTS PROPERTY TAXES

The America Association of Retired Persons has a

national policy regarding property taxes. It reads:

“Property tax is the single most burdensome tax

for many low-income and older persons. States

should broaden their method of financing public

education, thereby taking some of the burden off

the regressive property tax.” (End quote)

S.T.O.P. says: Abolish ALL property taxes on

homesteads (primary residences) in Pennsylvania.

* End the horrid practice of confiscating and putting up

for sheriff sale, the homes of seniors, veterans, young

couples, disabled folks and others who can’t keep up with

the property tax burden.

* Did you know that The Allegheny County Sheriff

placed sheriff sale ads totaling $3.2 MILLION during 2001

and 2002? The ads, paid for by the litigants, were placed in

the Post Gazette, Tribune Review, and the Law Journal. Is

this why the Post Gazette and Tribune-Review favor the

continuation of the present property tax system? Why

don’t they mention how the newspapers benefit when they

write their editorials or other articles supporting the unjust

and immoral property tax system?

* Spread the word and help Pennsylvania become

America’s only Home Free State. www.grandolusa.com
