      <![CDATA[Ms Powell, Thanks both for your comments and your service. My mention of proportionality of city services was based on the ratio of taxes paid to use of city services such as police and fire dept (sub-standard housing often leads to increase in fire dept interaction, poverty with increased police interaction ).

"Sane politics" writes that poor people use a disproportionate percentage of city resources.

      <![CDATA[Chaim and Sane,<br>
<br>
First, Chaim, taxation policies are and always have been unfair in their construct. But, we do not have a flat tax system nor do we pretend that tax policy is designed to be anything but disproportionate.<br>
<br>
Sane, before you rant about Warren supporting legislation and policies...we have a "strong Mayor" system and one party rule.

      <![CDATA[Clint -  So by your  logic property and school taxes , being based in the assessed valuation of a home, are designed to  balance municipal and school budgets on the back of the affluent since they pay higher taxes on their homes then the poor do on theirs. As a matter of fact, given that a large percentage of the poor rent rather then own their homes,  then I guess we can conclude that such taxes in general are designed to benefit renters at the expense of property owners.

      <![CDATA[Clint -  Out of curiosity, why do you believe that red light cameras constitute a conspiracy to "help balance the budget on the backs of the poor"? Is there some  socio-economic principle which dictates that the poor are more likely to run red lights than those in higher income brackets?
