[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There was a County hearing on taxes tonight. I went to ask for a tax cut.  So this dork gets up and says "please raise my taxes. Raise my sewer rate, raise my garbage rate, raise all fees. Don't just tax me, tax my neighbors, AND the parents at my kids' schools". Services blah blah blah. Programs to help elderly and disabled who can't pay property taxes, etc.

One,  you have to be pretty stupid to ask Democrat politicians to raise your taxes.

Two,  that's rich to think the County should take money from  someone who lucked into a hot market back in like the 1970s.

Three, where do you get off asking to raise MY taxes? How do you know what my financial situation is. I didn't ask for my house to jump $500k in value, and I didn't budget to pay those property taxes.

I've seen this guy at his kids' rec games, though not at anything Travel. Figures. So he wants the government to take MY money that goes to pay for my kids' travel teams and my pool membership. Because government knows better how to spend my kids' money.[/quote]

Draft a piece of legislation creating a carve out for this man and his expressed desire to pay more taxes. Send it to the paper and post online. It's a win-win.[/quote]
