Tax Rebellions

[Russell Kanning]

Yet, she and the others most likely think property taxes are both necessary and good as they provide money which empowers the city to complete tasks that residents are demanding be completed by the government.

I thought this was interesting since it was close to NH and recent.
I am just throwing out various rebellions to see what has happened. More to come......

On a lesser scale

but it effects so many more people.

It is nice to see a few states ease off tax-wise.  I may take up state-hopping in the future if the US gov't comes after my ass-ets.  Interesting to watch the little states of the world try new things, but still nowhere nearly as exciting as one being designed to go out of business.  I suppose, though, that this will never be the case.  Living without gov't is each individual's decision, not one to be hoisted on others.

Another Battle In The Tax Revolt

I quote from the article:
*********
The government will eventually crush them in this case, according to Pilon. He calls the leaders of the tax revolt "foolish heroes."

"They're reading the tax law in so strained a way, and they will in time pay the price for it," says Pilon. "But they're heroes in the sense that they are bringing public attention to an issue that needs public attention."
***********
Strategy strategy.  He's up for 60+ years and millions in fines, last I could find.  *Not* a good strategy, IMO.
