[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can someone please explain why just those clubs? Why is Woodmont and Lakewood not on the list? Both are in MoCo. This looks likes a tax the white wasp clubs. Why isn’t this a tax across the board to all MoCo clubs?[/quote]

Who cares? Tax the white wasps. [/quote]

Your local pool is also not taxed, ditto for your local church. If you go after country clubs in this regard you can also expect that your summer pool and church will have a hard time staying open unless they charge it’s members a lot more money (contributions to church). 
Private schools as well. Private schools do provide some open space and also jobs for residents. Pools and health clubs provide recreation.

I don't belong to a private pool. I swim at county swim centers. I also don't go to a church because I don't believe in fairy tails and make believe.

And I fully support taxing private pools and churches or other religious facilities at the same rate as businesses for their income, because that's what they are, and assessing their property taxes at the same rate of a private residence.

Frankly, everyone needs to be paying more in taxes. If we all did, a lot of problems would be solved. [/quote]
