Housing has gone up to unprecedented levels and few have given thought to the consumer. The taxes of the home you currently own is worth more and therefore, your taxes will increase. Same as a gallon of gasoline, state and federal taxes will go up with the increase in cost and the states and feds will reap the benefits. And we take the hit. Everything is going up and the associated taxes, groceries, fast food, I've never seen it this bad that I can remember, and this is just the start of Joe's reign.
