Title: Watch Out America, The Liberals Are Now Passing Driveway Taxes

Hawk Report (guest writer)

It looks like those on the left have found a new way to raise taxes.  How long will it be before many of the cities in other states across America decide to do pass similar laws? So regardless of how bad the economy is, cities refuse to cut spending and continue to raise taxes. That's right, from now on all businesses and residences in Mission City will be levied a tax that is dependent upon the amount of traffic that enters their driveway. 
  
The Mission City council passed a new first of its kind in the country tax by a 7 to 1 vote on Wednesday August 18. The new tax will automatically cost every homeowner another $72.00 a year while many small businesses will be paying on the average about $3,558 extra a year beginning in December.  Larger businesses that have more customers and thus more traffic, will end up paying the most. Below is an example of the extra taxes some businesses could expect to pay. 
  
Banks -- as much as  $5,659 a year
Drive through fast food restaurants  --  $12,200 or more a year
Large dept stores like Target, Wall mart etc. etc. -- as much if not more than $64,750 annually
  
Below are a few comments I found from a few residents and what the Mayor and a Councilwoman had to say. You can read the whole article at kansascity.com
  

"I'm not in favor of this. It's a tax no matter how you sugar coat it," said Mission resident Bill Nichols.

Currie Myers, the former Johnson County sheriff and Mission resident, said the city should look toward creating a more favorable climate for businesses. He said luring more business to the city would help expand the tax base needed for roads.

"This is a bad time," Myers said. "I'd ask you to take a better look at this and slow down."

Mayor Laura McConwell and city council members said they are besieged with complaints about the condition of city roads. Delaying work on the roads will just increase the cost in the future, McConwell said.

"It's something we have to do to save money for our families in the long run," the mayor said.

City Councilwoman Debbie Kring said bad roads will only scare people away from Mission.

"If we don't have roads that people can drive on, they aren't coming here," she said

I got news for Councilwoman Debbie Kring, people won't be coming because the "big box stores" will be moving before or shortly after this tax, or as they like to call it the new fee, hits.I wouldn't be surprised if more than a few businesses pack up and move out of town.

I suppose the only thing left to tax is taking a dump. Of course, the left will never pass that because they are so full of crap.
