It occurred to me; If a 16.67% sales tax increase is good for the tri-county area, why wouldn't a 66,67% tax increase be event better?
Anyone remember when the state sales tax was 3% and there was no hotel/motel tax, and there was no Prairie Meadows, and there were no casinos at all in the State Of Iowa? Remember when the very idea of tax abatement was viewed as a dumb idea? Remember when we were all expected to pull our own weight?
For those who remember ask yourselves; Were you better off then than you are today?
And why do those downtown lofts enjoy a 10 year tax abatement when new suburban housing gets only 5 years?
Does all of this smack of central planning? Look at how well that worked out for The former Soviet Union.
Keep your powder dry.
