[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, did you campaign for the meals tax? Folks couldn't bring themselves to pay a few cents more at a restaurant (which would also be paid by people who live outside the county). Such a shame because it would have generated well over $70 million in revenue for FCPS and programs like tour beloved summer school.

A "few cents" more?  You're bad at math.  Maybe summer school would have helped.[/quote]

It would have added 4 cents to every dollar. A $10 meal would have cost 40 additional cents in taxes.

I'm not the PP, just stating what it would have added.[/quote]

Well, 40 cents is more than a "few."  Those in their white UMC bubbles have a hard time grasping what extra costs mean for a lot of people.[/quote]

Really PP??? You'd be fine paying $10 for a sandwich at a restaurant, but tack on 40 cents and suddenly you're living in poverty. Mmmm, okay.  If you're going to present an argument, please make sure it's not ridiculous. [/quote]
