Georgia firebrand GOP Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene on Tuesday called for the U.S. to abolish “property taxes” and reform the U.S. health insurance industry, claiming it has become unaffordable.
The conservative lawmaker claimed that both topics should be addressed immediately and that both things were “American only” issues that deserved national attention.
Greene claimed that property taxes force Americans to “pay rent to the government” on houses and land that are privately owned.
“We need to completely abolish property taxes,” Greene wrote on X. “It forces us to pay ‘rent’ to the government on property that we own, but if we don’t pay property taxes, the property that we own gets taken away from us. That should never happen in a free country.
“Secondly, health insurance is a giant scam that has become completely unaffordable,” she continued. “It doesn’t make any sense and I don’t know anyone, and I mean anyone, that supports the current healthcare system in the United States.”
The comments come the same day Greene slammed the Trump administration for halting visas for Gazan children who are fleeing a war-torn region and in need of surgery.
Greene has battled the administration over the war in Israel, where she has come out against the U.S. ally.
“We need to be the America that allows war torn children to come here for life saving surgeries and the America that never releases a foreign child sex predator that our great LEO’s [Law Enforcement Officers] caught,” she said. “But in this circumstance those war torn children are from Gaza and this foreign child sex predator is from Israel and works directly for [Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin] Netanyahu.”
The State Department said on Saturday that it is pausing the program giving visitor visas to people from Gaza, saying it wants a “full and thorough review of the process and procedures” used to grant the visas.
