[Vision2020] School Levy (was Adolescent Humor)

[Donovan Arnold]

I really hate levies. Not because they support schools or help the 
community. I hate them because they only directly tax property owners. I 
think that is totally unfair. I think placing the tax burden squarely on the 
shoulders of one group of people 100% of the time seems like an unjust form 
of taxation. How about income tax or something instead? And just out of 
curiosity, how could increased taxes on home owners increase sprawl? I am no 
econ major but I though taxes slowed growth when it was place on the middle 
and upper classes.

Take Care,

Donovan J Arnold
