[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No you don't understand economics. You aren't subsidizing the country clubs. Also land value differs depending on whether its zoned for residential, agricultural or commercial use. Clubs and farms are unique in that they operate on more land that has less development and facilities. Its pretty normal for those businesses to not pay the same tax rate as a home owner or an office park building. Go ahead get rid of the all the clubs and do one more thing to make MoCo go down hill further. [/quote] I understand economics well. You're welcome to cite the evidence that providing beneficial tax rates to country clubs promote economic growth, but you haven't done so. Businesses use inputs at different levels. Country clubs use a lot of land. Manufacturers use more electricity. But every manufacturer in Maryland is not getting a tax break on electricity rates the way country club owners get a tax break on land.[/quote]
