Sorry if where you live they are random. Where I live they are elected. And while I feel for the entrepreneur, this type of tax won't affect them if they lease it out. There is no way for everyone to be happy. Needs have to be prioritized (like the need of the city to be prosperous over the need of the landlord to squeeze a few more cents out of a place)

> Where I live they are elected Random people run for office and random people are elected. Some of these random folks Are even qualified for the posts they hold. > this type of tax won't affect them if they lease it out. That is simply not true. In your scenario my mythical entrepreneur has no choice, she can't afford to not lease it out to the lowest bidder. > like the need of the city to be prosperous over the need of the landlord to squeeze a few more cents out of a place You seem to have a bit of disdain for business owners and complete faith in your elected officials. My point of view is totally the opposite--it's the business owner's money, Not your elected random peeps money. Furthermore, do you think the business owner fervently desires her property be locted in a prosperous city--of course she does, but that doesn't mean she wants incompetent people who are smooth talking just wasting it.

    > If you choose to state something that is demonstratively false You appear to believe that there is a systematic method in place for people who may or may not decide that they want to run for a political office: I submit that no such system exists--it is truly hit-or-miss, and utterly indiscriminate, or to put it another way; random people run for office and some of them are elected. I too wish you well... ttyl
