Would a prepared food tax to pay for the STPAC shortfalls
be regressive?
If City Council passes a regressive tax
to pay for discretionary spending for STPAC as the economy tanks,
poorer citizens in Greensboro will pay for for STPAC shortfalls
instead of our wealthy patrons etc...
who won't have to pay as much because it's a sales tax
as opposed to an income tax or increased property tax
to pay for STPAC shortfalls for Greensboro's 1%?
"'Regressive Tax'
A tax that takes a larger percentage from low-income people
than from high-income people.
A tax that takes a larger percentage of the income
of low-income people than of high-income people.
...it hits lower-income individuals harder.
Sales taxes...are generally considered to be regressive
...because expenses for food, clothing and shelter
tend to make up a higher percentage
of a lower income consumer's overall budget.
If City Council proposes a prepared food tax
to make up for STPAC shortfalls,
they will have stolen from our community's poorest
to provide the wants of our most wealthy
...even though the tax may be uniform (such as 7% sales tax),
lower income consumers are more affected by it
because they are less able to afford it.
Are the Spice Cantina folks paying on the loan
provided by Greensboro's taxpayers,
as Nick Piornack got his on the Revolution Mills incentives?
...a regressive tax imposes a greater burden (relative to resources)
on the poor than on the rich
— there is an inverse relationship between the tax rate
and the taxpayer's ability to pay
as measured by assets, consumption, or income.
Did Nick Piornack
receive a commission for the Revolution Mills
incentive grants?
Regressive taxes tend to reduce the tax incidence
of people with higher ability-to-pay,
as they shift the incidence disproportionately to those
with lower ability-to-pay.

I remember hearing this song at a Pizza Hut before being sent away to boarding school by my parents, who didn't understand how many times I listened to it on our Magnavox record cabinet in our basement.
