Real Estate agents....can u explain land transfer tax?

Bad enuf with over inflated real estate prices, I need a garage extension and the permits, fees, taxes, material it's ridiculous. I bet I'll be $25-30k adding 3-400 sq ft. So we look for "something else" and the LTF is out to fn lunch. Let alone the house price.
Well for what it’s worth, the combine percent of taxes that Sam Adams, John Hancock and others started to rebel against in the 1760s that eventually led to the full revolution in 1776, was a combined 3 percent.

Considering most of us have to work 4 months out of every year just to pay our “fair share” of taxes, I’d consider any additional tax too much.

Hell we pay:

Federal income
Social Security tax
Medicaid taxe
State income tax
County income tax
City income tax( certain cities)

Then add in all the other taxes

Gas tax
Road tax
Sales tax
Property tax


You get somewhere between 30-50 percent of the average American’s income going to some tax or another.
