Yet More On The PD

Random quote:
“Des Moines Art Center certainly is a classy museum! (the fact that's its free is awesome too!) “

Well of course it’s free! It’s paid for by state and federal grants, local property taxes, and of course….the building and land is not subject to property taxes! Free! Free! It’s all free!
Jee whiz, I wonder who does pick up the cost of the DSMAC?
Could it be…..hmmm….maybe the people who pay city, county, state and federal taxes? But at least the DSMAC is free to everyone, even if some choose to never step foot inside (while continuing to pay all of those taxes).
Get a clue.

The Idiocy continues regarding the PD tax. Apparently many “feeeelll” that this new tax will attract more workers through an improved quality of life. Right. Here’s an idea similar to the minimum wage increase; Why stop at a mere 16.75% sales tax increase? Hell, let’s raise the sales tax to…say….40%. Think of how many quality jobs will flood the central Iowa area once such a tax is enacted for the sole purpose of improving the “cultural environment” (pinky raised while sipping from a cup of tea) of Iowa, said culture currently reflecting the fact that us hicks don’t know how best to spend our own money. At least according to those in the know.
