Very OT: Re: [AT] Subdivision Development

[Mike Sloane]

Sales taxes are among the most regressive and hurt the little guy far 
more than the wealthy. But remember, state and local governments will 
have to find a way to get their money. So whether is a property tax, 
income tax, sales/VAT tax, or the lottery, everyone will pay somehow.

As an aside, we had one local town in whose borders was a regional waste 
incinerator and landfill operation. For the last 20+ years the property 
owners did not have to pay one cent in property taxes, and the town did 
some nice spending on facilities and personnel. This year, the 
incinerator is shutting down, and the landfill has filled up and is 
closing. Suddenly the property owners are facing huge tax bills.

The greatest of faults, I should say, is to be conscious of none.
