Yet, I see tax cheats getting away with not paying theirs. The worst offenders are libtards, as we see over and over again in the news.
In the case of property taxes, here's what I'd like to see. Anyone failing to pay property taxes by December 31st should be given 90 days, with a small late fee, to settle up. But, on April 1st, if all the taxes are not paid, the sheriff seizes the property and an auction is held by May 1st. Period, end of story. The sheriff collects the proceeds to settle all outstanding taxes owed and the rest is distributed to the local taxing entities: the parish, the city, the school board.
