Let's Target Big Business- Ooops, Never Mind

From Firehouse.com: "The Cherokee County (South Carolina)council decided Saturday in a unanimous vote to repeal a new ordinance that put a hefty price tag on firefighter services.
The council adopted the ordinance two weeks ago. It allowed fire departments to mail an itemized invoice to a person responsible for an incident that required service from firefighters. The recipient had 30 days to pay or face late fees and a court appearance.
News 4 learned council members adopted the ordinance thinking it targeted only insurance companies, but it really targeted everyone. "
I am not sure if this is a liberal community, but they sure talk like liberals. You have a body of government that thought they would target big business but in reality they targeted everyone. This happens all the time. In Nevada, the liberals are targeting the gold mining industry for an increase in their taxes. But they don't realize that raising taxes will hurt people down the business chain. The liberals don't realize that if a company has to pay more in taxes, they will cut back in other areas. They may lay off workers, they purchase less supplies from the local community or cut back on other expenses. And, they may say that this tax is unfair (In Nevada, there is supposed to be a uniform tax structure) and demand that all businesses pay the same rate as the mining industry will have to pay. They are also targeting stores like Wal-Mart.
The liberals look at a problem and say "raise taxes". They just don't look at the big picture how it will effect things down the line.
