[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The council president’s budget proposal would cause all homeowners to pay more in taxes. [b]Households with $75k in income would take a harder hit than households making $150k. [/b]The only clear winners in this are landlords, whose county tax burden would not increase at all, other than the rising assessments that are hitting everyone. [/quote]

Oh for goodness' sake.  Not everything is about landlords and developers.  She's proposing a true progressive income tax that will help almost everyone making less than $300,000.  Many of whom rent.

And landlords won't have to pass the huge elrich property tax increase on to renters.

If it had been truly progressive than lower earners would get a bigger break than higher earners and we wouldn’t be shifting more tax burden onto wage earnings. The tax plan is a tax increase for most households and a regressive one at that. [/quote]

The plan is to drive out anyone with high earners. That leaves the middle class as the high earners. After all, there are more of them to tax and they don't have the ear of the local politicians.[/quote]

The council president’s plan will hit the middle class and retirees harder than the Elrich plan. If the council president paid property taxes, her own bill would go up more than 12 percent before even accounting for the increase in assessed value. It’s almost as if the council is trying to make home ownership unaffordable. [/quote]
