City of Phoenix is taking money from the poor and gives it to its employees.
How can this be you might ask.
People need two things to stay alive; food and water.
City of Phoenix implemented a 2% tax on food to make up for lost revenue due to the recession, or so we were told. We were not told about pay raises for City employees.
Secondly, the City of Phoenix over the last 7 years has increased our water bill (each year) such that today our water bill has doubled from what it was seven (7) years ago.
Revenue from the food tax and the excessive water fees has funded pay raises and free public transportation for City of Phoenix employees.
Did you know that all 15,000 City employees utilizes the City Public Transit System for free; and at the Phoenix Public Transit system is subsidized by tax-payers in the amount of more than four (4) food-taxes or in excess of $200 million a year.
Enough is enough
