[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The parents of the many kids showing up in the middle of the school year not speaking a word of english definitely have not paid into the system. [/quote] Even if you think that each one gets paid under the table (which not all do!), they still pay property taxes -- passed through to them by their landlords -- and sales taxes. So yes, they definitely do pay into the system.[/quote] To that limited extent, which is to a much lesser extent than people who pay income and other taxes. [/quote] Only it's not a limited extent, it's basically the entirety of Fairfax's taxing authority! What's the share of Fairfax County's revenue that's paid for by your commonwealth income taxes (and federal income taxes too, for that matter), to say nothing of FCPS's budget? Hint: it's not a lot, and [i]certainly[/i] not enough to enable you to look down your nose at others![/quote]
