[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. [/quote] +1 It's absolutely ridiculous that country clubs are paying lower rates than other residents. Here's another article about this. https://mont.thesentinel.com/2018/12/06/moon-moves-to-close-country-club-loophole/ Apparently they tried to take away this tax break for country clubs a year ago, but lobbyists defeated it. You should write Craig Rice (D-2) who opposes the removal of this corporate welfare to country clubs. https://www.montgomerycountymd.gov/Rice/contacts.html https://mont.thesentinel.com/2018/12/06/moon-moves-to-close-country-club-loophole/[/quote]
