re: Local Govs plan tax hikes to plug Covid-19 loss, Nashville property tax going up 34%

If people aren't convinced yet of gov't ineptitude and how much power they yield today then we're lost.

Gov't: you can't work

Also Gov't: pay us more of the money you earn from working

It's not ineptitude, it's numbers. The majority of people that live within the actual Nashville city limits, not the metro, probably rent, just like every other major urban center. So you raise property taxes, knowing the majority of your voters won't be impacted directly, at least on paper.

Then rent prices go up and the renters blame it on the evil capitalist pigdog landlords, all the while barking and clapping like seals at the local government raising taxes on "the rich".
