Perhaps the rural senators would like to pay their fair share of the infrastructure costs in their low density, low tax revenue housing?
@AceBonobo @roguetrick Yes, while forgoing the income tax revenue from residents of their communities who commute into cities to earn their living. A lot of these “rural” conservative legislators aren’t from farm or mountain country, they’re from bedroom communities.
You’re basically saying, because they are rich they should be taxed less.
@AceBonobo No, the taxes should be paid where they work instead of where they live (or claim to, which the very rich they often game which of their properties they live in to minimize their taxes).
