Dear fellow tax hikers, we are very disenchanted to learn the results of an Enquirer poll showing that area citizens oppose a big Sales Tax increase to pay for $500 million of local arts projects. We firmly believe that arts needs should come before other government services. Everyone should pay for "the arts" whether they want to or not.
This poll shows only 33% of area residents support the tax increase with 46% already opposed. In Hamilton County the numbers were slightly better but still awful, with 39% in support and 47% opposed.
Arts and entertainment are possibly our most important government programs. The last time Hamilton County raised the Sales Tax was for the lovely stadiums and that sure worked out well. A new Sales Tax hike could be even better.
The need for taxpayer-funded arts projects is too important to allow things like fiscal responsibility to get in our way. We need higher taxes. We can't think of a more important government program than a Sales Tax increase for many years to ensure that every single Hamilton County resident pays their share of a $500 million Arts bonanza. Tax us more!

May I be the first to endorse this important tax increase? My Sharonville Fine Arts Center might need ANOTHER taxpayer bailout soon. I would be proud to add this to the gigantic list of tax increases I have proudly endorsed.
I will gladly lead the campaign for an arts tax. My expertise can guarantee a victory.
If there is a levy, will there be fund-raisers? I'd love to buy new shoes and a new dress for those cocktail parties as long as you don't invite any smelly inbred west siders.
I'm glad Commissioners Hartmann and Monzel haven't punished me for pushing for a huge new tax increase without their approval. I'm the 4th Commissioner!!!!
What could be more important than this? I'll happily host a wine drinking fundraiser, at which I'll have the first drink.
I never met a tax I didn't want to hike.
I love raising taxes, especially for the arts. I never thought I'd live to see so many Republicams support tax hikes for the arts. Oh , wait I didn't live that long, even if I can still vote, thanks to Jon Husted.
Make sure you buy several boxes of wine Lynn.
