    Looks like the tax abatement scam is still going strong. A recent report says that tax abatements cost citizens around 30 million last year (and the previous few years). That comes out to roughly 100 bucks for every man, woman and child in St. Louis. Some of the lost revenue is services not provided, but much of it comes out as higher taxes for all that are left paying property taxes. This means you have senior citizens on fixed income and low and middle income homeowners directly supplying cash to support the wealthy. A completely obscene situation.
    And that does not even get into the TIFs, CIDs and other give aways that are part of the development landscape. At least they are spread out as sales tax and not directly taking money from low income homeowners, although they ultimately cost everyone in other ways.
    Capitalism isn’t what it used to be.
