You also can't send your kids to school here. You're making yourself out to be more important than you really are in the grand scheme of things.

EINSTEIN- if we no longer have the income tax of the rich, who will pay for our schools??? You see, if the folks who can afford 2 homes identify another jurisdiction as their primary, THEY DON’T PAY INCOME TAX HERE. Homestead deduction may be a couple thousand a year. Income tax may be tens of thousands, if not more. Take another long bong hit and settle down for the day.

Most of the folks I know who have the ability to switch residency to their second homes no longer have school age kids . . . and the ones that do send their kids to private.   DC is in an economic tailspin---so instead of trying to shore up the part of the tax base who is willingly paying 9% income tax when they could easily move, DC is now primed to tax them further.  It's like being a businessowner and when you don't have enough buyers for your $100 item, you decide to increase the price to $200.   Makes no sense.  [/quote]
