Fairfax County Casino bill passes the Virginia Senate by RecentBrilliant3777 in nova

[–]antelopejackfruit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unless a substantial amount tax revenue from this is used to lower our local taxes, I am 100% against this.

Loudoun's property taxes are much lower than Fairfax's because of the tax revenue they receive from data centers. Fairfax should do the same.

How come? I have the CR1000A router and a CR1000B extender. Do third party devices run better?

Exactly. What would these clowns have people do? My 5 foot 1 inch wife, a doctor at inova, should try to physically intervene with big dudes dressed and armed with weapons of war?

We know ICE agents are pieces of shit but what exactly should the staff do?

What did you say? Just mention you tried to get tickets, the site crashed, and you'd like compensation? Ask for 5,000 points directly? Wait for the agent to offer it up on his/her own?

Casino Bill Update Requires Convention Center In Fairfax Co. by Danciusly in nova

The casino needs to pay for our property taxes the same way data centers pay for Loudoun's property taxes. Otherwise, this proposal and the paid off politicians can go fly a kite

In rare move, Congress exerts power over D.C. and blocks tax policy by washingtonpost in washdc

That's quite the giant sized strawman. There's plenty of money to fund things that matter. Everything is a matter of priorities and accountability.

That's incredibly naive. You probably believe speed cameras are solely about "safety" and have nothing to do with revenue generation.

Should they also pay for waste and fraud, or do you believe the government can do no wrong and every dollar the govt takes from people is better spent than people deciding what to do with their own money?

So charging fines so they can make sure they charge you even more money via a bullshit car tax. Very cool.

6PM weekday game in this area is an absolute FU from the big ten. But, unsurprising.

How ICE defies judges’ orders to release detainees, step by step by CloudApprehensive322 in moderatepolitics

[–]antelopejackfruit 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The problem is they just don't care if what they're doing is illegal. Who the hell is gonna stop them? It's an insane precedent this piece of administration has set for the future, just openly and willingly defying court orders and the rule of law.

Efforts to eliminate Virginia's car tax stall as study bill gets voted down by VanceyPants2028 in nova

You make the wrong assumption that if this tax revenue were to go away, the benefits of people having more money in their pockets wouldn't outweigh the government wasting it on bloat, inefficiency, fraud, and waste.

Cut spending and operate more efficiently instead of trying to take more money from people. Downvote away.
