[QUOTE="hypo hanna, post: 1304619, member: 42600"] He is right. People are getting poorer because of corporate welfare. When the corporations and the ultra wealthy get more and more tax cuts, that money has to be made up by higher taxes on the middle class in the form of higher fees and job losses to the government workforce. This has a ripple effect in that more people looking for work drives down wages. The poor face cuts in services and find it much harder to get assistance in the first place. We all suffer as our infrastructure crumbles without maintainance. School districts dont get their revenue from property taxes alone. It varys from state to state but on average about 45% comes from local property taxes. The rest is from state taxes. Corporates taxes, sales taxes, other fees and lotteries. The federal gov contributes about 8%. Corporations routinely ask for tax abatements from state governments, local governments and school districts. Usually with the threat that they will pull up stakes and move if they don't get them. Falsely claiming they can't operate without that tax break. [/QUOTE]
