Letter: Occupational Tax

Bryan New writes:
I understand the need for taxes, and I would like to interject that we also have an alcohol tax. Is that tax not being utilized? Couldn't the taxes on vices be raised? Couldn't that offset something?

It just seems like when one receives a raise that not long after the government at some level wants to raise taxes. And with inflation and high interest rates eating away at our pocketbooks its demoralizing when you're hit with more taxes and you have diminishing disposable income.

Furthermore, seems to me the county should use as many incentives as it can to draw more businesses and companies into the county that would therefore create hundreds more jobs, and thereby create more tax revenue.

Raising taxes is always the easy way out. How about creating a larger tax base that would generate more revenue for the county?
