Sunil,

There may be a new tax, but if your taxes overall go
down that to me is a tax decrease. Now you can argue
that if your taxes decrease that is a increase because
of the legal and political garbage behind it, but it
is still a decrease in your taxes. $95 instead of $100
is less, not more. A zero tax would be less than $100
too. But $95 is still less than $100 according to my
wallet. 

If you want to argue that $100 is less than $95
because $0.00 is less than $95 you are welcome to do
so but it is not an argument worthy of my time.

Donovan,

Since I lack Dan's big brain I am also having trouble
following your tax cut logic.  You write that the levy
they're paying on NOW is set to expire.  Once that
happens, that bill is gone.  They have then agreed to
a new tax.  Now, if they had voted it down, they
wouldn't pay any tax at all.  That would be a zero tax
as far as levies are concerned.  To use your example,
they'd go from a $100 tax to a $0.00 tax

Since they've agreed to a new tax, isn't that a tax
increase?  Haven't they gone from $0.00 to $95, to use
your example again?
If I have this wrong, please type your response
slowly, so that I can follow you.
 
Sunil
