    At least property taxes do us all some good, whether you agree with how they’re ALL spent or not. You benefit from how some of it is spent, we all do.

    Insurance goes up just to increase profits and keep the line going up. We’re being ripped off. They all use the phrase “free market” sarcastically. They’re definitely conspiring.

      Agreed. I’d rather my money go to the public school system, public infrastructure, etc. Fuck insurance profits.

      A lot of it goes into premium payments.

        Yep, blame climate change. The more natural disasters the more they need to pay out. Would be cool if we still had the smaller guys that only specialize in your local area.

        Why does my policy need to go up in MI when there’s a hurricane in FL? Because national insurance pulls from the same pot.
