We are in this situation because of the gross ignorance of Americans and, of course, the public servants. Income and property taxes are unconstitutional. Period. See Article 1 Section 9 Clause 4. Enough people have to know this and absolutely refuse to pay a single penny more. They will take us out one by one otherwise. Most would agree that we all need to "chip in" in our towns for basic services. However, that conversation will not take place unless and until the people KNOW these things and are willing to stand tall and refuse to play that game any more. There is a great deal of corruption going on in every town and, especially in my shithole town, they're spending money like it's water and they have no right to be doing so. The people must come together and define exactly what their public SERVANTS are supposed to be doing and to hell with their precious charters.
