This morning The Star is posting another E-Tax article with an authoritative headline accompanied by an article that is anything but . . .
A guide to the vote on KC's earnings tax
And here's my complaint . . . There has yet to be an accurate assessment of both sides of this debate.
I'll do my best here in the limited space I have between porn star cleavage photos . . .
E-TAX SUPPORTERS WANT TO KEEP THE CITY HALL MONEY MACHINE ROLLING AND THEY ARE OBLIVIOUS TO ANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT FISCAL RESPONSIBILITY!!!
Meanwhile . . .
E-TAX OPPONENTS WANT TO FUNDAMENTALLY CHANGE THE WAY CITY HALL WORKS BY DRASTICALLY CUTTING PURSE STRINGS AND THEY ARE OBLIVIOUS TO THE TREMENDOUS DAMAGE THEIR EFFORTS WILL CAUSE OR THE PO'FOLK WHO WILL BECOME EVEN MORE DISENFRANCHISED THANKS TO THEIR EFFORTS!!!
I think I've basically summed up both sides better than anybody else . . . The only thing that I haven't addressed are the d-bags who do nothing but repeat catchphrases all day long in support or objection to something they really don't understand.
Also, it's a shame that this arguement is now being fought along Conservative vs. Liberal lines in the media given that it's really about regionalism or the lack thereof . . . A great many Conservative and big biz owners in KC Proper are also against the repeal of the E-Tax because they'll be burdened with picking up the slack from JoCo interlopers.
Sadly, Kansas City mainstream media is mostly about simplistic representations of local issues and a few politicos and their consultants have turned this into a GOP vs. Dem fight when it's really an epic battle to save Kansas City Proper from suburban parasites, vampires and irresponsible interlopers. The E-Tax fight is not a boring cable new talk show debate . . . It's more like an action sequence from that Van Helsing flick against very bland and cheap suburbanite zombies.
