Dear Mr. Romney,

I understand that you are a tenacious tax-fighter (at least for your own family). Maybe you could do me a favor.

As you can see from the information below, the tax evaluation for OUR California house is in some need of "adjusting" like you have been able to do on YOUR California property.

I realize that we are not beachfront in LaJolla, but since this is our MAIN investment, it's as valuable (to US), or maybe even MORE valuable than just "one-of-many" houses like YOU have.

Could it be that people like you who "adjust" their taxes downward, might just be a reason why California is struggling so much in this time of massive foreclosures? (Foreclosed houses do not contribute to the tax base).

Maybe your beach-house's adjusted-downward tax rate is affecting MY bottom line..

C'mon Mitt, pay your fair share..


................................................................

Duers.., you can see how YOUR taxes have fared by using Zillow for your address and then clicking "details"... Has YOUR evaluation gone down as your property devalued?

and took every loophole, filed every appeal, and used every accountant's trick, I wonder if it would be possible to estimate the overall revenue shortfall as a result.
