Give it a rest. You’re calling Matlow (the only business owner up there) a Marxist while the establishment 3 Chambercrats are literally raising our taxes. Dailey raised taxes in 2020 with his CSC property tax hike which Matlow publicly warned against.

I am no SJW and that stuff grates on me but for taxes/spending, 0 question Porter and Jeremy have been better than Diane, Curtis and John who support Maddox-Reese admin and actually control the policy

The two alt-left progressive Marxicrats are only balking at the proposal because they know it has the votes to pass anyway. They want to appear fiscally conservative and caring to the malleable minded… but make no mistake about it, they are both fully aware of the pending overage windfall of our tax dollars, and are making out their wish list of reckless social spending as we speak.

Corporate entities don’t pay ANY taxes, their customers do. Thereby raising the price of their goods and services to the people that already pay their own taxes. Keep in mind that those corporations provide retirement money for about 100,000,000 people through their stock price, profit sharing, 401(k), IRAs, etc. at a level much better than the Social Security Ponzi scheme does.

But yeah. Let’s gripe because they don’t crap on all of that to pay the taxes that YOU want them to pay to prop up the government socialism….

But let’s leave Federal taxes outta it, the article is about local taxes.

The federal budget is over $6B, meaning that federal expenditures are near $20,000 for every man, woman, and child in the country. A family of 4 is “responsible” for almost $80,000 of that and has an income of about $87,000.

93% of federal revenue is from payroll, personal, and corporate income taxes. More than half of that is given back to non-producers.

The recent jump in property values should result in a windfall for local governments. Raising the rates on top of it is asinine.
