Opinion: Taxes

By Kevin Knifley

The citizens of Columbia and Adair Co. are currently taxed more than any other citizens in our history. Now take into account the alcohol revenue. Shouldn't the dollars collected from our taxpayers also be at record levels?

When these taxes are voted in they don't get voted out down the road. Like the fraudulent one bailing out the hospital. Let's not forget no one in our local government will go on record that it will go away once the debt is paid in full, which at best is shameful.

I feel for the city's workers who wrongfully have to pay the tax and it's unfairness that county ones don't. The only way to balance it fairly would be an income tax but that'll never happen.

We are all entitled to our opinions and I respect them all, but personally I'm very proud of the County Magistrates. Thank you for standing up for the working class.
