Well, directly, they are not tax payers. They don't generate income that fund property taxes. Yes, there are many indirect benefits to society over the long term, that stay-at-home moms contribute to, but that's a seperate discussion.
BUT... things to consider:
1. Why are libraries renting out feature movies? - That should be cut.
2. It's so wrong to charge for public pools, maybe the Parks and rec employees can take a benefits cut and just offer part time employment - lifeguards are generally students/part-timers anyways.
3. Riverdale farm. how much is it to run this place? - Maybe they can put a Tims (or local Coffee shop - Jet Fuel part deux in there to pay for the place. It would cost more to administer than the actual revenue it would generate...
On a side note, Ford has managed to cut 60 dollars off my car fee, but will raise a 100.00-150.00 from my property tax increase...
One could say this is progressive taxation - Tax the rich and landowners... not the car owners. Interesting how closely the far left and right resemble each other.
