[quote=Anonymous]No, it's not. It's a gross oversimplification.

I don't want to live in a county where the #1 priority is bringing in businesses so they can pay taxes and hire more people to pay taxes. All that does is cause runaway sprawl and overdevelopment. Businesses aren't a community. Businesses don't like paying fair wages. Businesses don't care about the environment. Businesses don't care about schools. Businesses don't care about the homeless. Businesses don't care about getting rid of guns. Businesses don't care about affordable low income housing. All businesses care about is making money. And keeping money by paying as few taxes as possible.

Instead of luring businesses in, we should be asking the wealthy in Montgomery county to pay their fair share. Sorry, but if your HHI is over $100K, you need to be carrying more of the burden, because you're not doing enough.

The county's biggest problem is we have cowards who won't stand up to the rich and demand they pay their fair share. That's how you fix this. [/quote]
