If he cross posts it to enough forums someone will listen.

I think Deezus' larger point is that the government should not levy a consumption tax of any form to subsidize billionaires. Think about that..
If we are to pay hundreds of millions to build stadiums, we may as well own our sports teams outright eek:, heaven forbid!). Appoint a local commissioner to oversee the team in the same capacity an owner would, i.e. hiring and firing GMs to run the team. Instead of enriching the already super-wealthy, let the proceeds go back into the community directly? Seems like a more efficient use of tax dollars if you ask me, and no one would ever need to worry about their team "leaving."
Here's an interesting excerpt from Huffington Post on the matter, it's worth the read.
sell the stadiums
No. Why should we? They bring in tons of money to the city of due to events, etc.
Give me a reason, I bet you won't find a logical one.
Again?

Honestly, if you can't see the big picture benefits of the sin tax, I have trouble respecting anything of your opinions.
