"The task force's idea is to shift the tax burden "from taxes on things that are mobile (people and businesses) to assets that are fixed (land and buildings)." This form of civic entrapment is great news for tenants, not so great for landlords (including you, if you own your home)." From:
http://www.philly.com/dailynews/columnists/20090831_Stu_Bykofsky__Task_force_seeks_to_shift_tax_burden.html Of course, it's not great news for tenants or small business, but generally the premise is correct. The Eagles football team, which receives 8 million in yearly welfare is a prime example, as are the tax abatements. The local push for BID, the $500 trash fee for small business, and even the bogus trash tickets for all but large corporate landlords are also indicators of the ultimate tax policies for the international plutocracy. The lower classes (now including what was once a middle class) will be forced to pay all taxes so that the mega wealthy may receive government welfare. Tax shifting is great news for the globally, "mobile," mega wealthy members of an international plutocracy, and it means a life of depravity and subjugation for the masses of Philadelphia and the world. The mega wealthy have been threatening to take their capital, and indeed have been taking their capital elsewhere, unless the poor pay them welfare. Their politician servants have been deregulating the mega wealthy in every possible manner, as the masses lose all control over their destiny, while trying to make the welfare payments. There is no mass movement, which would be the only hope for future generations who will exist under the plutocracy. Philadelphians simply close up their libraries, recreation and health centers so that they can continue to pay for the tax abatements and Eagles debt. Oh well, the kids can always have hope as long as the army and prisons will take them in! If you wish to learn more about the goals of Philadelphia "tax reform," I would recommend Lenin's, Imperialism, The Highest Stage of Capitalism. The system is actually quite easy to understand once the pattern and language is uncloaked.
