<P class=RTE>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<BR><BR>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?</P>
<DIV class=RTE>If I have this wrong, please type your response slowly, so that I can follow you.</DIV>
