I agree and where does this all end? Every occupation is a “service” to someone else. What about the mechanic, concrete mason, daycare workers, etc. who daily provide services that are often grueling and take a constant toll on their bodies as they work to make ends meet and keep their homes. Now they have to pick up the taxes of a select few even though many people struggle to pay their bills. The idiocy continues…
