@jmiller1978. Before you start increasing the tax on the "rich", start collecting taxes from the illegals. In 2009, the neighboring county started cracking down on illegals. Nearly 2000 of them dropped out of their county school and into the county schools where I live.
The published school budget broke it down to $13K/student. Or $26M increase because of the illegal migration. For every $3 spent on textbooks, we - the legal taxpayers - are 'privledged' to spend $8 on translation services and ESOL instruction.
And frankly, I'm fed up with having to spend and spend and spend to pay for people who are not paying into the system! The county Government has ignored the problem for so long, even county Government workers were arrested as part of an INS/ICE sting.
