Deep-pocketed politics has no place in our county races

To the Editor:

We have had ample time (three decades in fact) to examine and quantify the viability of supply-side or trickle-down economics. The final word is nearly universal. Only philosophical hard-liners cling to this disproven economic theory. The vast majority of serious, clear-eyed economists agree, concentrating the bulk of wealth in the hands of a very small minority has a stagnating effect.

I will support it if it helps to lower my property taxes
I oppose it because I don't believe it will impact property taxes and I will just pay twice
I'm against any additional taxes
I have not heard enough yet to form an opinion
