Did I say that?  I don't see where I said that.

You didn't say that, I just think it's silly to point out that local taxes are about money. Or any taxes for that matter. Of course they are.

It's not because there are people who believe that a sugar tax, for instance, is to combat obesity.  That's an excuse to tax.  The problem with local taxes in particular, is that they do a poor job of stopping something because it's relatively easy for many people to go outside the district.  Therefore the only major benefit is tax revenue.  That's why I said it and it's certainly isn't a silly point.
