Here are King County's priorities for their next round of Community Forums. You know, those meetings with citizens where they pretend to care what county citizens support?
* What are you opinions about a county income tax?
* Do you have the right level of police service in your neighborhood?
* How strongly should environmental concerns guide county policy making over the next five years?
When I saw the idea of t county income tax I almost lost my cookies.
Governments are bleeding working Americans dry, and now even an irrelevant county government is looking to suck more life out of us!
Have Americans forgotten Ronald Reagan's statement about government? Government is the problem! Now with future property tax increases threatened by the collapse of the housing market, the parasites in King County government are looking for a new source to feed their addiction for other people's money.
Say NO!
If King County thinks that having a county income tax is going to increase revenue, they had better think again. The flight from King Co. will be highly noticeable. Those of higher incomes will not just leave, they will also, take their businesses and the jobs that go with them, causing all tax income and property values to plunge. Such a Deal!
