Once again we are hearing about an absolutely stupid debate about someone misusing the homestead exemption. This time the Citizen reports that Ken Davis and his ex-wife Heidi Langraf allegedly put false information on the form qualifying for a homestead exemption.
And of course now the State Attorney's Office is wasting resources chasing after this infraction.
Back in September I penned an article about exactly what a joke this Homestead fiasco is. It is what happens when government over taxes you, then tries to throw you a bone to make it feel like they are doing you a favor. Gee, thanks. So they create a convoluted law that could confuse IBM's Deep Blue Supercomputer, which creates a million ways people can find loopholes, or innocently get confused, and then it simply becomes a tool of people "turning you in." We waste a ton of government resources maintaining, tracking, investigating and enforcing this piece of garbage, and this latest example speaks to that point exactly.
Next time some happy, smiling, nice guy politician tells you how hard they are working for you by creating things like this, simply tell them, "Just cut my taxes and government waste!"
It's that simple.
