I have been to the mountain top!!

 Last night, I turned on the computer to check on the news and possibly scrawl out a blog post. As you are reading this post, I was obviously successful in that endeavor.

I saw a news story that confirmed my long-held belief that government is run by morons. But to be honest, I don't recall ever seeing a story that would contradict my belief. But last night was special. This was like winning a thousand dollars on a one-dollar scratch and lose ticket.

There was a news story from here in North Carolina. Yesterday was the deadline for paying property taxes in North Carolina counties. I always pay my property taxes between Christmas and New Year's to beat the crowd after New Year's Day. I would pay earlier, but there is no discount for paying early.

In Buncombe County, the county seat is Asheville. There was a lot of damage in that area from Hurricane Helene three months ago. Today, the Buncombe County Tax Office announced that there will be no waivers or adjustments for people who had their homes damaged or destroyed by Hurricane Helene. Taxes are due regardless of the condition or presence of your home. The Buncombe County Tax Office says that there is no provision for waivers or adjustments in North Carolina State Law.

Our new Governor Jerk-off Josh Stein visited Asheville last Thursday and talked about all that he was going to do to help the people who had suffered so much damage. Apparently, this does not include any relief on their property tax bills.

What are they going to do to people who watched their homes float away in the storm? Is the county going to recover their home and put it back onto the property? Are they going to track it down and seize it to sell? If you can't afford to get your home repaired, how can you afford to pay taxes on it? People have lost their homes and their jobs, but Buncombe County just doesn't care.

I will take a moment here to point out that Buncombe County and Asheville are the heart of the Democratic Party in western North Carolina. The counties surrounding it may vote Republican, but Buncombe never does. Obviously, Democrats aren't even interested in taking care of their own.

That the government waited until the last day to issue this public statement tells you everything that you need to know about government. Did anyone in Buncombe County government discuss this with Gov. Jerk-off Josh when he visited last week? They are all Democrats. Didn't anyone see this crisis coming before yesterday?

According to the Center for Immigration Studies, Buncombe County is a "sanctuary county". While they long to shelter illegal immigrants, they do nothing to help their residents who have lost their homes. You have to love the insanity of liberal priorities!!

Martin Luther King used to say that he had been to the mountaintop, and he had seen the Promised Land.  Well, I have been to the mountaintop, and I have seen the dumbest bastards in government. 

The Governor and the legislature need to start work on resolving this issue today. There is no time to waste. This is the kind of stupid shit from the government that pushes people over the edge. There's a mental health crisis brewing in Buncombe County. It's being caused by morons in government.  let's find a cure!!

Just a footnote, but if Trump has to ride to the rescue on this situation, the Dims can write off Buncombe County.
