[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Look at property taxes in NJ if you want to see what road this leads down. [/quote]

NJ has a lot of very nice small towns that are not completely ruined by the dysfunctional residents living nearby. When you let local communities make decisions for themselves they are not forced to subsidize neighbors that don’t contribute their weight economically. Administrative bloat is actually the worst in very large local governments, look at NYC or San Francisco. There is a happy medium that allows for more local control an efficiency between Fairfax County and a small NJ town with 2,000 residents. Fauquier County, has 1/15th the population lower property tax rates/government spending.are lower than a Fairfax county. The crime violent crime rate is lower and it has higher pass rates on state exams. Fairfax county is declining because it is in a handout death spiral where politicians spend increasingly larger amounts of taxpayer money to subsisdize residents that are dependent on social services. This overly generous local government spending entices more low income taxpayers to relocate to the county and increases the number of voters that support frivolous government spending. The cycle will only get worse unless the county splits up. [/quote]
