Ah, class warfare, this is what we need more of in politics. People
"walking around" always on the lookout for injustice, bitter people who
have been left out of the "elite few" and who will tell us what's not
"fair," challenging us to research ways to drag down someone else.
I disagree. Mindsets like this get us nowhere. They divide us. I
would rather see the rest of our property taxes come down rather than
increasing someone else's. We have had large budget surpluses in the
state for years now. This year is proving to be no exception (we'll
find out in November). Let's lower our property taxes by having the
state increase it's funding of local education from 68% to 100%. Let's
take a positive approach.
