Taxes aren't fun, but they're a necessity in any society. They fund our necessities, and even many wants, like a fully renovated, city owned stadium. The alternative to taxes would be massive out of pocket expenses. Everything having a toll like so many roads throughout FL do would be far worse than the couple bucks per check we all pay....

The alternative, as it relates to the stadium, is the jags leaving and fans having to choose to support some other cities team while also watching that revenue stream and job creator slowly deteriorate to nothing. The alternative in general is paying absurd costs on everything the taxes no longer pay for.

Taxes are the cost of civilization. Can that cost be wasted, abused and manipulated for the benefit of politicians and organizations? It has since the first taxes were imposed. As they like to say in the computer business, it's not a bug, it's a feature. However, carefully controlled and targeted, a tax as small as a half cent can provide huge benefits. Shad Khan and the Jaguars will most assuredly benefit from such a tax. But in many ways, it benefits the city more. Jaguars fans and non-fans alike.
