That works out to just over .13/taxpayer based on filings from 2009. Yes, I think I can handle paying an additional .13/year for this program.
I think your math is a little off if you count only those who are actually working and paying into the national treasury without getting back most or more than they pay in. And again you are only counting one U.S. city. Add in ALL the U.S. cities and I think you'll be looking at paying a substantial amount every year to fund such a program.
$2.1M (per you) for the cost of the program in FL divided by the number of tax filers in 2009 (156M) equals just over .13/filer. Where is my math off?
Millions upon millions file tax returns every year but pay little or nothing in taxes and many of those receive more from the national treasury than they pay in. That's where your math is off. You're paying their .13 cents for Tampa along with yours and then again you need to multiply it by the tens of thousands of low income housing projects that are also eligible for this kind of project now that the precedent is set.
