The Residential Assessment Ratio (RAR) is an indication of the level of assessment for residential real property in a municipality. It is a measurement of the overall ratio of the total assessed value of residential property in the municipality compared to the full market value of that residential property.
Totalitarianism is a political system in which a citizen is totally subject to absolute state authority in all aspects of day-to-day life. Joseph Stalin 's Soviet Union and Adolf Hitler 's Germany are widely considered to be the two best examples of totalitarian regimes.
If the government has complete and absolute power over the people, that's totalitarianism. This is a repressive, unfree type of society. We live in a democracy, where the people have a say and elect officials. The opposite is totalitarianism: a totalitarian society is usually ruled by a dictator, and there is very little or no freedom. In totalitarianism, the government controls almost every aspect of life.
