kallend 2,147 #77 May 29, 2008 QuoteQuoteQuoteQuoteQuoteBonus points to you for recognizing their strawman, however The only one I saw was the one you built. I take back the bonus points, then, and refer you back to the difference between local bond issues (which is what this REALLY is) and federal tax law. (straw man removed) Please do. I've removed YOUR strawman. If you go back and read the original thread discussing this, what was being discussed in regards to "the tax system favoring the rich" was FEDERAL TAXES. Of course, John then had to throw in his strawman about local bond issues, which is what sparked *THIS* round. Stop calling local sales TAXES "bond issues". If someone goes to a ball park and the sales tax they pay on a beer goes NOT to the local government entity but to the team owners, THAT is welfare for the wealthy. Ditto when a Wal-Mart customer's sales tax goes to the Wal Mart corporation.... The only sure way to survive a canopy collision is not to have one.
