Kim-Mai Cutler added,
@kimmaicutler @emilytgreen That's as may be, but towing/storage fees and resulting forfeiture auctions in SF are unconscionably regressive.
@MBridegam @emilytgreen the whole point is that we had to switch to a regressive fee, sales tax structure bc of the prop tax stuff.
@kimmaicutler @emilytgreen Pls tell me this is interpretive gloss on your part rather than a defense of confiscating poor ppl's vehicles.
@MBridegam @emilytgreen I think you are completely misunderstanding what I was saying.
@kimmaicutler @MBridegam @emilytgreen CA's big fiscal problem: rise of fees because of the decline of progressive taxes (mainly property).
@DarwinBondGraha @kimmaicutler @MBridegam @emilytgreen CA has progressive income tax, and very progressive capital gains tax.
@tmccormick @DarwinBondGraha @MBridegam @emilytgreen the progressive income and capital gains taxes are result of the lost property taxes
@kimmaicutler @tmccormick @DarwinBondGraha @MBridegam I honestly don't know enough about tax structure to weight in thoughtfully but ....
@emilytgreen @tmccormick @DarwinBondGraha @MBridegam Sorry I didn't mean to insult you with my comment. Please don't take it that way.
