You have referred to your tax burden on several threads.

Now you are indicating you pay 50% of your income to the government

Do you own your own home ? If not you aren't paying any property taxes.

Exactly what is your occupation that pays you enough to put you in the 50% tax bracket ?

No

Rents are based on supply and demand. My property taxes are based on the county's property tax evaluation. If my rental houses are vacant due to lack of demand…..I still have to pay the property taxes.

French navy seizes over 4 tons of cocaine in Pacific, intercepts boat with drugs in Caribbean
Updated on: February 5, 2026 / 7:33 AM EST / CBS/AFP

Add CBS News on Google
France's navy seized over four tons of cocaine from a ship in the south Pacific and also intercepted a boat trafficking cocaine in the Caribbean Sea, the country's armed forces minister said on Thursday.

Catherine Vautrin wrote on X that 4.24 tons of cocaine was seized in the Pacific and a boat carrying 678 kilograms of cocaine was intercepted in the Caribbean and handed over to the Barbadian authorities.

The vessel in the Pacific, from Central America and believed bound for South Africa, was intercepted in French Polynesia, the country's high commission in the island territory said in a statement.

Its cargo was destroyed at sea, away from the Polynesian economic zone and marine protected area, officials told AFP.

Vautrin and the high commission released images from the operation on social media, showing an aerial view of the interception as well as packages of the purported drugs on board a naval vessel. Vautrin touted the armed forces' "vigilance and professionalism to thwart a globalized trafficking network."

as a landlord you're only responsible for the taxes when you don't pass it through to the renter. Renters pay taxes on every property they occupy.
