IF YOU DON’T KNOW: If family property is being passed on to you, be ready to be blindsided by the awful truth about Prop 19. Mom and Dad leaves you the home, and you don’t get to pay the same property tax they had paid, even if it is in a living trust. Your future inheritance is at stake, and I don’t understand why people are not angry about having their property taxed to astronomical heights. My property tax bill is equal to 100% of my social security income. Can you imagine your income equal to your annual property tax bill? Ludicrous. The purpose of why Property Tax Protection is important is because home owners wanted a predictable annual property tax, especially for the elderly. I have been severely disabled for the past thirty years and have seen my retirement funds dwindle, just to pay this tax on the house my parents left me.

Or at least tell your friends and neighbors about how bad Prop 19 is for the ordinary working class. Prop 19 is just the beginning in the effort to dismantle Prop 13. This is an important cause.
