I would love to see a good portion of the country show up (to prove we care) but write in "Try again with some better candidates." to every election which we don't feel we could in good conscience vote for one or the other. If we had a large enough percentage, perhaps we could buy back some of our congressmen. Or at least make them fall back to less ostentatious crimes against humanity...

Problem is, everyone hates the congress but rates their own reps as okay (in general). Regarding the property taxes - exactly. The shift doesn't need to be from landowners to everyone (which unfairly burdens the poor - taxes on necessities vs. taxes on wealth, or perceived wealth). I'll bet that the reassessments were done as a necessity because other sources of local funding are drying up. And I'll also bet the bulk of properties were appraised before the real estate market in general tanked. That's what has happened in our corner of suburban red hell.

We're getting people organized all over the world. Unfortunately, some the protests and demonstrations turn violent, and that's something we DON'T want. We promote non-violent non-compliance to the corrupted and murderous system of the Rockefellar/Rothschilds world cast hierarchy. If you're fed-up pulling their cart, check out the site.

Which anyone who actually understands economics (at least after Ricardo) knows is a good thing.
