[Vision2020] Council Must Reject Rezone

[Kai Eiselein, LatahEagle Editor]

Reagan rocked!
Unlike the string of pathetic dweebs we had for the 30 years previous and
all the years since.
(And, yeah, I had that whole goofy thing of working on Hart's campaign while
in college. Idiot with a bimbo, that one.)

Yes, I often consider myself Reagan. Why?

You say, "There is no reason to think that the 'savings' will eventually
trickle down to us." Are you expecting a check to show up in your mailbox?
When you say this, you sound a lot like you are saying, "I'm looking out for
me and mine; screw those poor people who don't have a professor's salary."

Let's think about this in the abstract, completely aside from WalMart. Is
increased disposable income a) good for the local economy, b) bad for the
local economy, or c) doesn't have any effect on the local economy? If a),
then we can discuss whether or not WalMart would increase disposable income.
If b) or c), then we can discuss the merits of your thinking on this point.

And by the way, my wife shops for us at Walmart and Winco, and the money
that we save shopping there allows us to spend money at other stores around
town that we otherwise wouldn't be able to. You sound so condescending when
you say, "Why not suppose that they will just spend the increased income at
Walmart, where they are going to shop anyway."

People who shop at Walmart are humans, Joe, not mindless, Walmart-adoring
drones. They are trying to save some money; that's all.

Take care,

Deacon

Why not suppose that they will just spend the increased income at Walmart,
where they are going to shop anyway. There is no reason to think that the
'savings' will eventually trickle down to us.

Let's put in terms of groceries, then: $.30 can of tuna vs. $.50 can of
tuna. It's a better comparison anyway, because both are the same product and
both will be consumed and forgotten.

Bottom line: increased disposable income, which leads to increased
prosperity in the region.

Take care,

Deacon

Deacon James stated:

"If someone spends $10 on a toaster instead of $20, they have $10 extra
dollars to spend on something else they otherwise would not have been able
to purchase."

Yet, if that same "someone" found it necessary to purchase that same
ten-dollar toaster three times each year (due to lesser quality), while
his/her neighbor "someone else" purchased the twenty-dollar toaster that
lasted twelve months, someone else would "have $10 extra dollars to spend on
something else they otherwise would not have been able to purchase."

Something else to think about,
