Citizens need relief from double taxes
This letter concerns injustice to some people in Chattanooga.
Some (perhaps most) of us bought property in Hamilton Count because we did not want to reside in the city of Chattanooga. The result? We were annexed into the city.
The further result? We were then given the dubious (and unfair) pleasure of paying property taxes to both the city and the county. With the continued dual taxation on property, federal income tax, and yes, that “lovely” sales tax on everything we buy here, it is a wonder that we have money left to buy food.
Please — it is time we are given some relief from this injustice.
