I just read the viewpoint of Justin Raines entitled “Reasons why taxes going up” with pleasure. Though I don’t agree with the basic arguments raised, I was indeed impressed with the articulate description of his point of view and the amount of work that obviously went into the commentary.
The points raised were substantially, that we have to pay more local taxes to make education better, because the federal government will not give us more money, and that the federal government would be able to do that if the rich would pay more in taxes.
Of the most critical importance to us here in Brownsville at this moment are two positions that I can support easily: You can indeed change things with your vote (if you vote and most don’t) and helping schools to effectively provide a good education is helping yourself and the community as a whole.
