'Taylor Swift Tax' Stirs Bad Blood With Rhode Island Homeowners - BusinessWeek Daily

[Wonder Why]

1. Yes! But it's not a second home. It's a second house. All the floridians that spend summer

in our area, care only about making money when they sell. They don't care about the community, don't do anything to help, don't pay income tax here, use all our facilities for 5 months, use our doctor's appointment times, clog our roads and restaurants, ruin our neighborhoods by renting to everyone and anyone who doesn't know what home ownership is, and bring their MAGA habits with them.

If you can afford a second home, you can pay more in taxes. I'd even charge them money for using the libraries, police, parks and parking they don't pay for.

I have to pay taxes on my car and an EV tax for the gas I don't use but out-of-staters buying second homes here don't.

House taxes should be doubled but then residents get a 50% break on their primary residence if they are state citizens.
