Ok? Where do you propose getting money from?[/quote]

Rich white people are snowflakes who overrate their own importance.[/quote]

Okay, we'll just fund the schools with your disdain and snark, perfect.[/quote]

"We" who?[/quote]

Montgomery County? Who do you think funds the schools?[/quote]

[u]Everyone[/u] who pays taxes in Montgomery County.[/quote]

Oh suddenly everyone pays taxes? I thought only rich people did and that's why it's okay to raise the tax rate 10% in an inflationary environment during an affordable housing crisis.[/quote]

Yes, everyone pays taxes. The rest of your statement is a hodgepodge of catch phrases.[/quote]

Yes, everyone pays taxes, I completely agree with you. But wealthy people contribute much larger sums than middle class or low income people. [b]We want them to stay.[/b] Montgomery County relies on the revenues from rich people. If you can offer a different paradigm for funding our schools and public services please feel free to share that.[/quote]

"We" who? I don't have a problem with rich people, per se. I have a problem with rich people who say, "You have to institute the policies I want, because otherwise I will take my $$$ and go somewhere else!" We all pay taxes. Their money isn't more important than anybody else's, and neither are they.[/quote]

Yes, but each wealthy household contributes more dollars than each middle class household. Plus, we aren't adding any middle class households. All of our household growth is in very rich and very poor households. Who is going to pay for all of poor people coming in? Rich people, who are going to increasingly reject tax increases.[/quote]

That's between rich people and their consciences. If they can't recognize that we're all better off - including rich people - when we're all better off, they can go live somewhere else.[/quote]
