of course everyone else has to pay more!
A city has expenses, many if not most of those expenses are fixed and only increase from year to year. So if special group X demands to pay less taxes everyone else will have to pay more to make up the difference.
Here’s the problem, special groups A B C D E F G .... keep demanding for a variety of reasons that they should pay less or nothing at all. Which means that a smaller and smaller group of those who remain have to pick up the slack and pay for everything else. Old people dont want to pay, poor people dont want to pay, minorities dont want to pay, illegals dont want to pay, disabled people dont want to pay, kids cant pay, the unemployed cant pay, the middle class is tired of paying... heck! who’s left to pay for everything?
