Democrat Nashville Mayor John Cooper just “floated a 31.7 percent property tax increase in his budget proposal this week, saying the city is facing ‘the greatest financial challenge’ its seen in decades.”

Which goes to show people how Mr. Cooper doesn’t seem to grasp what “the city” is.

Clearly, he sees “the city” as the city government, as if it’s some living entity that MUST survive, as if it’s being starved of oxygen, food, water, never realizing that “the city” is not his vaunted government. “The city” is composed of the people, the individuals, living in it, owning property, running businesses, trying to cater to neighbors, survive, and prosper. What he views as “the city” is a corporate-political entity that sucks off of everything the REAL city residents produce.
