Instead of raising income taxes on the far richest in Delaware and those that can afford it, Carney is looking at raising property taxes. Do both, sir, do both.
“Here’s the way I look at taxes: they ought to be fair; they ought to be simple; they ought to generate revenue; and they ought to enable us, as a state, to be more competitive,” he said. “[That’s where] we are too competitive. People move to our state because our property taxes are so low. I hear people who’ve moved here from Pennsylvania, from New Jersey, from New York: ‘I got a bill and I thought it was a quarterly or monthly payment.’ But that’s their payment for the year.”
I love the “I hear people who’ve moved here …” very Trumpian.
Anywho, more Coffee Klatches are upcoming.
