Perhaps this guy should run for office. THAT actually would accomplish something. His little adventure did nothing. He made out like the collection of property taxes was a big secret, that it had to be “exposed.” Those clerks are just doing their jobs.
Go after the actual politicians and take their jobs.
It costs MILLIONS of dollars to run a successful political campaign. Why is it that everytime someone points out what the evil bullshit that the political classes are perpetrating on the general populace, they’re told “Either defeat them in an election, or shut the fuck up!!!” That’s retarded. Why is it people who can’t be encouraged to show up to Tea Parties because they don’t feel they will make a difference are so confident in the inherent fairness of our electoral system that they believe that all infringements against Liberty and transgressions against the citizenry will be righted in a single election?
What these guys are doing is legitimate and heroic journalism the likes of which the idiots in the MSM could only dream of. This is something that you don’t see everyday because it takes courage, and that has become so very rare in our society as to be remarkable. I can only hope that one day I will be able to perform an act that will be as profound.

Oh come on…, everyone knows that you are supposed to do it with coins!

You can’t support folks who don’t stand up. This guy is at least shining sunlight on the process.
How many folks would pay property tax if there wasn’t a gun to their head?

Someone did that once. The county refused to accept the payment and the courts backed them up.
It’s a bit harder to rationalize refusing dollar bills, though, and they’re almost as hard to count as a bunch of coins.
