Just like if there was an income tax I could choose to work at McD's, earn less, and therefore pay less in taxes! But then who will make up for my lost tax revenue. Thats right, you will.

I feel for less's issues along with all the rest of us Wal-Mart lakers, but the choice to stay here and pay the taxes is yours.

And besides, how did Donald Trump make all his money again....oh yeah REAL ESTATE!

It's a choice to live in the house you've lived in your adult life and grown to love?? My parents bought their home in the 60's and raised their family there, got involved in their community, paid their taxes religiously, kept the house and grounds in great shape and dream of living out their golden years there. Taxes that have gone sky high may prevent them from doing so in the future. Gotta love the people who say "just move, pocket the cash from the sale and stop complaining." Where will they go?? Starting over at 70? I'm not talking about us second home people either with disposable income. These type scenarios are happening all over small towns just like it's happened to primary waterfront residents who bought thier homes in the
60's. Who are we to tell them to quite their b****ing and just sell their beloved homes. I don't get this logic?!?! Enlighten me
