>>[ALLAN] Since 1995 Swansea's poverty index has doubled. From 2000-2005 Swansea folks paid the highest property taxes in the state-very surprising is it not. I make a six figure salary, have a nice home, and live in Swansea and have paid dearly to live here.<<I'm confused -- I thought it was a known fact that raising taxes automatically increases the affluence of any area.

P.S. If it's any consolation, my taxes on property in Gilbert have doubled in the last few years.
M*A*S*H: I would think that the Gilbert area is going to show a high standard deviation with respect to the poverty index -- a lot of Lake Murray lake front property is in the Gilbert school district.
