[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Keeping your own money isn't welfare, nor is it a subsidy. Okay liberals, think of a pizza. You have a whole pizza, the government taxman wants half of the pizza as taxes. You manage to get them to only take a third. You have 2/3rd of a pizza now. Did you get a subsidy?[/quote]

Yes, because everyone else has half a pizza. And perhaps, had everyone, including you, been paying the same, everyone could all have 60% of a pizza. But YOU only gave up 33% of your pizza, so everyone else has to give up 50% of theirs to make up for the 17% less pizza you are giving up. You are getting a 34% subsidy.

Excellent analogy. It makes it perfectly clear to everyone how these private clubs are being funded by people they’d never admit as members.

It’s shameful. Absolutely shameful.

The opposite is actually true.  Unlike the PP, these places use very few County resources.  If the land were schools, condos, houses, appts, etc, the County would use substantial resources to meet the increased needs.[/quote]
