My point was that just because a school official drives a fancy
vehicle does not mean they are rich. Credit allows many that cannot
afford it to live way above their means.

I agree that Teachers may need a raise, at least with starting salaries, anyway.
As far as the poor driving Land Rovers, the only way which I can
understand that is that they'll never be able to afford Real Estate

To start with your Last Comment about Asbury's Schools:
There's Plenty of money to run the schools more than adequately! It's
just that Superintendent Lewis, DiSanto and the other School Board Members are
MORE interested in building Buildings, which brings elaborate Contracts with

Allan,
WHY Should Multi-Millionaires GET a Tax Break
to buy $1 Million Condos? They don't pay their fair share of Income Tax
as it is, since Bush gave them a 70% Tax Cut at the Federal Level when
he got in, as did Reagan in the 1980's!
That just puts MORE pressure on current owners of both
I'll join with Dan, the rich,as you put it, do a pretty good job of
supporting those less fortunate. How much is enough? Should a $2m
dollar house be hit with 30k in taxes? Or be hit 40k on the sale - just
for taxes - just because. Because as long as money is hauled in from

I would prefer a flat sales tax over income tax. This way everyone
pays into our society. You consume, you pay. A family will pay more
toward school tax this way due to food consumption, clothing and such
than a single man or woman making the same wages (unless they are
spend-a-holics).
Any of you see any studies as to what roughly that percentage would work out to re: a national sales tax to replace income tax?I'm curious.Most of the flat income tax proposals I saw would be about the same I pay nowbut without having all the 'funny money' totals before I itemize and take

If I was to buy a condo for 500,000 I would be pay tax on a

be paying tax on a value of 250,000 for that same condo.
dfsgavgny,
Everything that you said was probably very close to "Right on". What
you didn't say, is that the current homeowners, and Condo owners on Cookman,
etc., will be carrying and unfair burden of the Taxes for 10 Years.
You did say that the Schools get $0 from the Luxury Condos, right?
Interesting in certain sections of OCean Township where the Syrian Jews
have been buying property East of Monmouth Road, especially around my
