The Overwhelming Tax Burden…
“A high total tax burden pulls resources away from relatively more productive firms and families and instead allocates those resources through less efficient government processes. “
This is a quote from an article about the tax burden facing many Nebraskan families and the changes that are trying to be made by the Platte Institute. Please visit this article and get informed. We will put a link to these articles below. Please take the time to read these. Cheyenne County right now is losing. Our population is losing an average of 200 residents each year. The cost of living is going up and so is our local government spending. We need to put the brakes on, and reverse this cycle.
Here is another quote from these articles… ” Nebraska’s position in the tax burden rankings shows that it is not operating as efficiently as other states. ” In other words, there is lots of waste. It is time to look at our county overall, fix what is broken, and follow good economic recovery models by reducing the tax burden which empowers the residents with new capital. This also keeps people in our county.
Let’s work together to reform some of these outdated practices and build a better community.
