So.............The owners of boat slips at Mountain View Yacht Club in Gilford contribute over $400,000 annually to the town of Gilford. The can't use the town beach or the town dump. Is that fair? What do you think it costs the town of Gilford to provide services to that facility and those taxpayers each year? Do you think that it is a big win for Gilford?

Is the entire federal and state tax system fair? Some people posting here want to equate what they get in services with what they pay in taxes. If that theory worked isn't the entire income tax system unfair? Shouldn't your taxes go up when you have more children (dependents) and become a bigger burden on the system? Why should you pay less if you and your offspring are a larger financial burden on the system than a single person with the same home and the same income?

I'm not expressing an opinion, just asking the questions.
