Almost a week ago, The Washington Post did a story about the meals tax in Loudoun - a piece, unfortunately, heavily biased towards those in favor of this unfair tax on Loudouners - and the photo editors saw fit to attach a nice picture of one of the many schools in our County under construction.
Of course, ALL of us at LCAFT are in favor of properly educating our children, and ensuring they have the school space to get that education. Sadly, the Board of Supervisors saw fit to turning this referendum into a macabre Machiavellian choice between constructing schools or increasing onerous and painful taxes on one of life's core necessities - food.
But building schools at the singular and discriminatory expense of a specific (and troubled) industry in our County - our small business restaurants - is just plain wrong.
So, for any future Washington Post stories that focus on the meals that and require a visual, we hope the discerning editorial eye will consider the pictures above - worth, as the title of this post states - "a thousand words"....or, more like 1,040 -- if you impose a 4% excise on it.
