[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am laughing out loud at these threats from rich people that they’re going to storm out of the county. A majority of us would actually benefit from that. They are opportunity hoarders who have been jealously guarding all the prime locations, schools, jobs. The middle and upper middle class would really be happy to take your places.[/quote]

Keep laughing, it's the middle and Upper middle along with the wealthy who will be moving out and taking their tax dollars.  The recent population boom has been in immigrants who don't pay state taxes or county taxes or property taxes but yet are using a disproportionate amount of resources.

The population boom is not not in middle class  or upper middle class workers. It is due to the sanctuary status of the county.  This is a fact, repeated over and over again in media publications.  [b]Changing demographics from the rich to the poor.

Hope your still laughing in a couple years when the tax dollars dry up.[/quote]

Yes, that's why the schools in Bethesda are so overcrowded.

Also, immigrants pay taxes too. That is a well-known fact.[/quote]

DP. Immigrants do pay taxes, and the PP was wrong to suggest otherwise.  But you should also acknowledge that the average immigrant is going to have a lower income and own/rent a less valuable property -- which lead to lower income and property taxes respectively -- than the average M/UMC professional.  So to the extent the M/UMC professional decides to leave the County and is replaced by an immigrant, the overall tax base with decrease.  So either the level of services provided by the county will have to be reduced or the tax rates on those remaining in the county will have to increase.[/quote]

I honestly want to know.  How do undocumented immigrants pay taxes?  And don't say "sales taxes", that is a cop out.  Tourists from other countries pay sakes taxes when they visit.  Everyone pays sales tax. I mean real crippling taxes like those of us with social security numbers who aren't paid cash under the table are forced to pay......like income tax, property tax, county, state, social security and federal taxes.  How are they able to pay these taxes that provide the services they need like government housing, ESOL, EBT  Medicaid, and FREE schools (the topic of this thread) This is an honest question.  Do not say sales tax...please explain the process of how they contribute to these other taxes.  I'm truly listening
