We’re From the Grubmint, We’re Here To Help You
Homeowners in an exclusive waterfront enclave in Brooklyn thought Hurricane Sandy was as cruel a blow as they could suffer — until the taxman proved them wrong.
The city is claiming that property values have actually shot up for many homes in Manhattan Beach and it’s going ahead with hefty tax hikes for the houses devastated by the October superstorm, shocked property owners told The Post.
Homeowners in other neighborhoods hit by Sandy, including Coney Island, the Rockaways and parts of Staten Island, also said they’ve received increases.
“This is totally insensitive and heartless,” said Ira Zalcman, president of the Manhattan Beach Community Group, which has received more than 30 complaints from residents about the hikes.
“We just sustained one of the worst national disasters in our nation’s history, and now the city is delusional, claiming our property values went up.”

Taxes going up? Then you have the deep satisfaction of knowing you have served the Fatherland.
It will be your privilege to go broke for the New America!
At last, you’re paying your fair share. I guess elections do have consequences, don’t they?

Of course your property value and taxes went up. You’re white and you survived. If you wanted lower taxes you should not have had the temerity to live. Just kill yourself and the taxes will be lower for the next family we redistribute your property to.
