[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Environmentalists are strong supporters of open spaces, for helping with local watershed, water runoff, wildlife habitats, oxygen production, air pollution, cooling hot temperatures. The broader public gets these benefits [b]without payment.[/b][/quote] But we do pay higher taxes to compensate for country clubs paying lower taxes. Preferential tax rates aren't costless. [/quote] Budgets are fungible. If less money comes in from “X”, then “Y” and “Z” each need to pay more to make up the difference. Everyone’s taxes in the county are incrementally higher to make up for the revenue lost from country clubs not paying as much. You CANNOT argue otherwise. This is simple math. [/quote]
