Easy...
business people do not pay taxes... the tax gets pushed down to the consumers. so that 1/2% you are talking about gets multiplied on the way down...
also, who are you to say that 1/2% will not be the last little bit that pushes people from making it, to not making it? By the way... you can write the county or state a check anytime to help them out... why don't you go ahead and give them the 1/2% if you think its a good thing?
No tax in low enough until its gone. I have yet to see a county or state agency run efficiently enough that it needed more money.
Here is simple way for the county to save some money... only have county counsel meetings once a year. only pay county counsel staff for 2 or 3 months of that year and the counsel people get paid nothing not even travel or parking. The other 9 months the people of the island of Hawaii would be safe from their robbing, stealing and other mischief.. (State should be done this way also). Take some of the first years money that is saved and put in a county conference system in each council members office, no more travel needed.
